Brigid's Cross

Help support the A OK Foundation in honor of Alyssa Baker and receive a BC temporary tatoo! (scroll down in BC's news section for more details!).

It is our honor to have Brigid's Cross back again this year. The music and energy of Paul Baker, Peggy Goonan-Baker and Richie Reece will leave you wanting more. If you've never seen a BC show, be prepared. You will be astounded by the amazing fiddle playing, sounds of the bodhran and dancing. More importantly, this trio brings you high quality traditional and Irish American music. With songs ranging from Follow the Whale to Dublin, you won't be able to get enough of the musical stylings of BC. Pictures courtesy of Tim Martin

The New Barleycorn

This will be the New Barleycorn's 11th year at the Irish Festival. Along with the wonderful playing of Janice Fields, this group takes you back to Ireland with great stories and songs.

Get ready to clap your hands and stomp your feet. Warm up your singing voice because before you know it you'll be singing along to Drunken Sailor, McIntyre, My Lovely Rose of Clare and more! The New Barleycorn at this festival has been a long standing tradition and we are lucky to have them back.

Morrison McCarthy

Kevin McCarthy (guitar) and Dave Morrison (harmonica)have joined forces to create a new sound on the Irish music

scene. Kevin's vast song list and lively humor, combinedwith Dave's virtuoso harp stylings, makes for a high-energy performance and a unique musical blend.

With a set list ranging from traditional ballads to contemporary bands such as 'The Sawdoctors' and 'U2', the Celtic soul of Morrison McCarthy will please crowds of all ages. Their recently released cd is entitled 'Stirrin' It Up'.

 

Irish Heritage Pipe Band & Dancers
Irish Heritage Pipe Band is a 'no brainer' when it comes to Irish Festivals. This group of accomplished pipers will give you a real sense of the Irish/Scottish tradition. What sets the IHPB apart from other bands is the relationship with the Masterson School of Irish Dance. These fine students in the art of Irish Dance have proven to be a well-suited partner with the band. Whether it's the grace of a jig or the rapidity of hard shoe taps, these skilled dancers are more than capable of answering the call.
