8pm
Creative Alliance/Patterson Theater in Baltimore
Featuring: Billy McComiskey, accordion, Laura Byrne Egan, flute & tin whistle, Donna Long, piano & fiddle and Pat Egan, guitar and vocals
Plus: step dancers from the Teelin School of Irish dance
Join Baltimore's own "Hedge Band" for a special Irish holiday celebration in the fabulous setting of the Creative Alliance at the historic Patterson Theater in Baltimore. "In old school Ireland they'd celebrate the season with a new coat of white wash on the cottage and a fresh roast goose. We decided to present four of Maryland's finest Irish traditional musicians in their incarnation as The Hedge Band. On button accordion Billy McComiskey is inarguably one of the finest players in the world and godfather of B'more's burgeoning trad Irish scene. Formerly with Cherish the Ladies, Donna Long is a premiere player on piano and fiddle. From County Tipperary, singer Patrick Egan offers accomplished guitar and masterful vocals, while Peabody grad Laura Byrne Egan's internationally renowned wooden flute and whistle playing round out a dynamic and exciting quartet sound. Expect spirited tunes, soulful songs, a story or two and maybe a bit of dancing!!"
