Irish Music has been around as long as almost any genre, and is as loved today as it was centuries ago. Spend some time with us as we explore and perform this glorious art.
In the olden days in Ireland, instrumentals were written and performed on traditional instruments like the fiddle and the tin whistle. In recent times and with Irish culture making its mark in the new world, Irish American Folk Music was born. They now live in symbiosis, and this event will explore both. We’ll speak of the fascinating history of the art form, tell related personal stories, and perform some of this wonderful music.
Together, we will have a wonderful time immersed in the beauty and history of Irish musical culture. Please join us!
Sheila Noonan, singer/songwriter, was raised in a home filled with music, and that music is in her genes. She’s the daughter of renowned Irish accordionist, the late Paddy Noonan, and has been on stages both in the US and internationally since she was a young girl. Sheil continues to entertain — with her own band, as a freelance vocalist, and now, joining her colleagues Barry and Brian in bringing Irish music and its history to new audiences.
