Storming onto the Times-Union Center's main stage are international megastars Celtic Thunder, with LEGACY, a brand new show coming to Jacksonville October 20, 2016 for one performance only, celebrating the influence of Irish and Celtic music around the world.

LEGACY is a live show featuring a mix of lively, fast paced and upbeat songs "A Place in The Choir," "Galway Girl" and "Raggle Taggle Gypsy" that represent the fun-loving nature of the Irish and slower classic ballads "Danny Boy," "Noreen" and "Buachaille On Eirne" that portray a more nostalgic and romantic side.

Continuing their tradition of paying homage to the musical culture and traditions of Ireland, Celtic Thunder's latest show is a depiction both their musical footprint over the past eight years as well as their amazing heritage of Irish and Celtic music.

Both the ensemble and solo performances in this thrilling evening of entertainment highlight the diversity of Irish music and song. Powerful anthems like "Ireland's Call" and "Caledonia," heartwarming ballads "Song for the Mira" and "Take Me Home" and lively crowd favorites such as "Seven Drunken Nights" all serve to showcase the musical talent of each soloist.
