Black 47-co-founder Chris Byrne's grandfather, left the village of Dunkineely in southwest Donegal and settled in South Brooklyn, a decidedly multi-ethnic enclave in New York City. Harry Harkin, Andrew's father, left the town of Killybegs three miles up the road from Dunkineely, and a generation later he too settled in South Brooklyn. Andrew and Chris have been playing music three or four nights a week for the last few years, mostly in Rocky Sullivan's of Red Hook in, you guessed it, South Brooklyn.


Sephira are Irish sisters Joyce and Ruth O'Leary, who have joined forces to create a stunningly original sound.   “When you experience Sephira, you are instantly reminded that these girls are not delicate dainty creatures, they are two very talented and powerful women with fire in their souls”.  Their story has ultimately molded what they have become.  "Starlight" features nine all-time Christmas favorites sprinkled with the imagination of Sephira and also one self-penned track, "Beneath a Thousand Stars".
