Young Ireland with Kyle Alden at Falkirk Cultural Center San Rafael
Irish folk music duo Young Ireland joins with celtic music veteran Kyle Alden for an evening of inspiring, original songs and storytelling. The concert takes place on Thursday, March 7, 2013 at the Falkirk Cultural Center in San Rafael and all ages are welcome.
Young Ireland is a newcomer to the Irish music scene, based in San Luis Obispo. New Times of San Luis Obispo hails them as "Authentic!" Diane Byrnes, veteran Irish radio host ("Echoes of Erin" Pittsburgh, PA) says "Huge success is just over the horizon for 'Young Ireland' and for those who love Irish music, 'Young Ireland' is a testament to the strength and musicality of the 'song'." First and second generation Irish Americans with County Mayo roots, this father-son duo writes and performs original songs reflecting the spirit of the Irish struggles and traditions in both Ireland and America from the 1600's to modern day. Their acoustic music is driven by "skillfully crafted ballads and delicate harmonies in a richly Irish tradition." At age fourteen, Michael sings with the "heart of an old soul." www.youngirelandmusic.com

With roots in the San Francisco Irish music community, Kyle has played guitar accompaniment for top Irish musicians in concerts, dances and sessions across the country and in Ireland since the early eighties.
