AnRil 
The Maui band AnRil (Pronounced "UnReal!") was borne out of the affiliation of the Bouzouki Brothers Stuart Mason (Now with Molly's Revenge) and David Bryan. The incredible instrumental trio assembled an internationally acclaimed sound with bouzoukis, cittern, tin whistles, flute and guitars. "Whe were influenced by the music of the Chieftains, the Bothy band and Mary Bergin and once Stuart layed down a rythm, it all came together magically".
