The Celebration Continues…
“Ceol agus Craic:” A St. Patrick’s Day Celebration
Like Ireland itself you can’t capture the spirit of Craic – you must experience it. Come experience it at Brookdale.
Join us for some music, song, history, and a guided tour through Dublin.
FEATURING
International Irish Singer Songwriter Gabriel Donohue
Gabriel was born in Athenry, a walled medieval town in County Galway that was founded in the 12th Century AD. Hailing from this well-known village, his music is filled with a strong sense of history and his love of storytelling is evident through his song, which belongs to another time and place.
An extremely gifted and talented guitarist, pianist, bouzouki player, singer and songwriter, his musical artistry has always had him in high demand for many of the elite in Irish music circles. For five years he toured around the world with the Chieftains as their accompanist, worked and performed with Michael Flatley and toured with Cherish the Ladies, Eileen Ivers and Joanie Madden. Gabriel makes his home in Pennsylvania where he has his own recording studio and has recorded and produced many of the top traditional artists in America.
