Looking to get into the St. Patrick’s Day spirit? Come grab a drink and get your feet moving at this Thursday’s Upstairs on Main concert starring Cape Ann’s own Michael O’Leary!

*For the first half of the evening, Michael and his stellar bandmates will play a set of traditional Irish songs and tunes. For the second half, they will open it up to others to sit in with them in an informal Irish céili, so bring your fiddles, flutes, bouzoukis, guitars, whistles and pipes and join us for the “ceol agus craic” – Irish for “music and fun!”

The February 3rd concert features a young woman who Celene and I saw at a Folk Alliance International conference in Kansas City. She impressed us mightily, and we have been looking forward to this show. Her name is Joy Clark, she was born and raised in New Orleans and still lives there, and she’ll be accompanied by two more terrific musicians from New Orleans.
