Mark and Val set the stage for St. Patrick’s Day. We begin with a selection of late 19th- and early 20th-century Irish American songs that pay tribute to a romanticized Ireland. From there, we move through working songs, drinking songs, and Irish classics. The lineup also features a couple of local Celtic bands before wrapping up with Cathie Ryan and Liz Carroll.
