2008 Performances

January 11th, 2008


Johnsmith

Johnsmith is one performer who doesn't wear hype well. His artistry speaks for itself. In fact, the idea of 'just being real' is a prominent theme throughout his music. And yet, to simply say that Johnsmith is a great singer/ songwriter would not be enough. In addition to his incomparable musical abilities and finely tuned songwriting skills, Johnsmith possesses the even rarer gift of being able to share his soul. That gift is the foundation on which everything else about him is built, and it comes shining through in every song he sings.

Blarney

Since 1975, BLARNEY has been brought the "living delight" of the Irish music tradition to life for audiences wherever they perform. BLARNEY celebrates the "music of Ireland" – songs that reflect the history and spirit of the Irish- songs of the sea, songs of love, songs of uprising and rebellion, and of course, the spirited pub tunes of revelry. BLARNEY weaves these tunes into a magic journey through the Irish experience.
