AN IRISH HOOLEY! Returns to the Harris Center

By now a Harris Center tradition, An Irish Hooley! ("boisterous party") returns to Folsom. This hugely popular show boasts a new lineup for 2017, including The Kerry Voice Squad and Traditional Orchestra, with dance lead by the legendary Connor Reider. The show continues its unbroken tradition of merrymaking, storytelling and celebrating the joys of being Irish, moving from older Irish times to modern Ireland through brilliant traditional music and the splendor of Irish dance.

AN IRISH HOOLEY! performs at Harris Center Sunday, March 19, 2017 at 7 pm. Tickets are $19-$34; Premium $39; Students with ID $12.

The concert will be led by members of The Kerry Traditional Band--Jackie Moran (Bodhrán, banjo, vocals), Bella Issakova (Fiddle), Jesse Langen (Guitar), Jeff Lindblade (Uilleann pipes and flutes). These four multi-instrumentalists share their passion for the traditional music of Ireland with fiddles, uilleann pipes, banjo, bodhrán, guitar, flutes roaring through the theatre with a gusto that will leave the audience wanting to dance in the aisles. Add Irish dance led by champion dancer Connor Reider-a choreographer and performer who has danced with The Chieftains and Celtic Fyre-then add the beauty of Irish melodies as performed by The Kerry Voice Squad, three lovely vocalists delivering the best of Irish ballads. A favorite of Folsom audiences and now a tradition at Harris Center, An Irish Hooley! is a wonderful Irish concert that transports to the charming and beautiful Emerald Isle for an unforgettable night in Ireland, suitable for the whole family.
