BRATTLEBORO — Irish-American folk music duo Young Ireland presents a musical celebration of Irish history and tradition at Hooker-Dunham Theater & Gallery on Sunday, July 28, at 7 p.m.
All ages are welcome to share this evening of inspirational, original songs and storytelling. Partial proceeds from the concert benefit Brattleboro Area Hospice.
Young Ireland, based in San Luis Obispo, Calif., is new to the Irish music scene but not to its sound. First- and second-generation Irish-Americans with County Mayo, Ireland, roots, the father-son duo of Patrick and Michael write and perform original songs reflecting the spirit of the Irish struggles and traditions in both Ireland and America from the 1600s on.
Brattleboro Area Hospice (www.brattleborohospice.org) is an independent, community-based, nonprofit organization that provides grassroots, volunteer-staffed programs to supplement and provide alternatives to the professional services utilized by dying and grieving community members.
