Inspired by one day acquiring an Irish passport stamp, "Destination: Dublin" (for guitar duo) pays a musical homage to the stunning capital of Ireland. Influenced by Ireland's historical Celtic music, instruments, songs, reels, and jigs, "Destination: Dublin" strives to inspire visions of Irish culture, the lush majestic countrysides, and Dublin's city limits where modern city life merges with ancient culture.
