An evening of exquisite traditional and contemporary songs, tunes, and stories for the midwinter season. These three world-class artists are some of the brightest lights in Irish traditional music, and have been since their early days with Solas and Cherish the Ladies. Musicians, bring your instruments — this beautiful and evocative evening starts with a FREE open Irish session.

John Doyle and Mick McAuley’s nearly telepathic musical connection began in the truly groundbreaking Irish-American band, Solas. And for over thirty-five years, including multiple studio recordings, musical collaborations, and awards, Cathie Ryan has been in the vanguard of Irish music. Now, these three luminaries of traditional Irish music come together to celebrate the Christmas and winter holidays. They’ll present familiar carols and special ones that are less well known, as well as new material and their own personal holiday stories.
