A Pre-St. Patrick's Day Concert with The McKrells - 03/09/2012

A St. Patrick’s Day

Join us for a St. Patrick’s Day "warm up" concert with Kevin McKrell and friends. This festive Irish evening will showcase musical entertainment suitable for all ages for a reunion of Kevin McKrell and Banjo Champion Chris Leske. For 15 years Kevin McKrell and Chris Leske were the force behind the internationally renowned Celtic Bluegrass band The McKrells. Leske, with his driving melodic banjo style, and McKrell with his commanding stage presence and voice, together formed a unique sound that was to become known as Celtic Bluegrass. Throughout the 1990s and early 2000s they performed at the top folk, bluegrass and Celtic festivals and venues throughout the U.S., Canada and Ireland, including Falcon Ridge Folk Festival, Winterhawk Bluegrass Festival, Carnegie Hall, Lincoln Center, and Milwaukee Irish Festival. Joining McKrell and Leske on stage will be Kate McKrell: vocals/guitar/bodhran; Doug Moody: vocals/fiddle; Seth Warden: guitar/vocals. Seating is General Admission.
