An Irish Heartbeat: A Tribute to Van Morrison

  • Raue Center 26 North Williams Street Crystal Lake, IL, 60014 United States (map)

Soundtracks of a Generation presents a 10-piece band featuring singer/harp player Derrick Procell spanning the musical genres of Morrison’s 60 plus year career. 

This energetic tribute explores the eclectic journey of Van Morrison’s musical career featuring award-winning singer/songwriter, Derrick Procell.  

Equal parts blue-eyed soul shouter and wild-eyed poet-sorcerer, Van Morrison is among popular music’s true innovators, a restless seeker whose incantatory vocals and alchemical fusion of R&B, jazz, blues, and Celtic folk produced what is regarded as perhaps the most spiritually transcendent body of work in the rock & roll canon with  iconic songs such as “Gloria,” “Brown-Eyed Girl,” and “Moondance.” 

Procell was our 2023-24 Season artist in residence and his songs have been recorded by The Brooklyn Tabernacle Choir, Logan Daniels, and Melissa Manchester and have appeared on various tv and films including My Name is Earl, TrueBlood, Criminal Minds, Boston Legal, Saving Grace, The Office, True Blood, King of the Hill and the Oscar-nominated film, Lady Bird.
