The Screaming Orphans will bring both traditional and original rockto the Saltwater Celtic Music Festival
The Saltwater Celtic Music Festival is set for July 14 and 15 at Thomas Point Beach in Brunswick. Numerous, top-notch acts including Carbon Leaf, Enter the Haggis, Black 47 and The Screaming Orphans will perform. Having chatted with three of those four mentioned bands, I wanted to learn more about the Screaming Orphans and discovered they are four siblings — Joan Diver (drums, bodhran, lead vocals), Angela Diver (bass, violin, vocals), Marie Therese Diver (keyboards, accordion, vocals), and Grainne Diver (guitars, vocals), from Bundoran, County Donegal, Ireland. They recently released two new CDs, “Lonely Boy” and “The Jacket’s Green,” that are decidedly different, musically speaking. They also split their time between their Irish home and an apartment in New York City and it was from that latter location that I got to chat with Grainne (say “gron-ya”) Diver about her group’s history and what they’ll be doing at the Festival this year.
