The Black Brothers Band

Kick off your St. Patrick's Week festivities with a special Black Sunday concert at which there'll be a Blackout by an ensemble who cannot be eclipsed, the Black Brothers Band. Led by the charismatic charmers from Dublin, Shay and Michael Black, the singing siblings from Ireland's first family of song, the Black Family, which includes sisters Mary and Frances and brother Martin, have been hailed in The Irish Echo as 'One of the most impressive groups of Irish singers to be found anywhere... exquisite, exhilarating and nothing short of thrilling.' Raising sibling rivalry to revelry, Shay & Michael adroitly accompany their sheer joy of singing with banjo, cittern and guitar with the Black and Black Minstrel Show also featuring fiery fiddler Bobbi Nikles, celestial cellist Myra Joy and captivating keyboardist Eamon Flynn. The concert will include Irish traditional ballads, Dublin street songs, sea shanties, contemporary compositions, rollicking reels and jaunty jigs, interspersed with hearty Irish humor that is guaranteed to have the audience roaring with laughter and joining in on the choruses.
