Live Celtic Music at McCreay's
2017-03-25 20:30 - 22:30
You’ll surely be stomping your feet & bangin’ the tables to some of the good ol’ Irish tunes played by Seven to the Sea, as well as being entranced by some of their slower melodies.
Seven to the Sea combines the raw energy of a vocal-based pub band with the instrumental virtuosity of bluegrass and Celtic groups of the 60’s folk revival. While firmly rooted in best of what has gone before, Seven to the Sea brings a thoroughly modern sensibility to their interpretations of traditional music. Travis and Tom each have their own unique perspective, exploring influences that include roots music, Americana, and even stray elements of rock and pop song craft. In the band’s songwriting, the themes are both current and universal: good times, bad times, family, love, loss, and striving.

Riders in the Sky
2017-04-21 20:50 - 22:50
For more than thirty years, Riders In The Sky have been keepers of the flame passed on by the Sons of the Pioneers, Gene Autry and Roy Rogers, reviving and revitalizing the genre. And while remaining true to the integrity of Western music, they have themselves become modern-day icons by branding the genre with their own legendary wacky humor and way-out Western wit, and all along encouraging buckaroos and buckarettes to live life “The Cowboy Way!”

Riders In The Sky are exceptional not just in the sense that their music is of superlative standards (they are the ONLY exclusively Western artist to have won a Grammy, and Riders have won two), but by the fact that their accomplishments are an exception to the rule as well.

Dylan and Zachary Zmed celebrate the genetic intimacy so ever present in the harmonies created by Don and Phil.

With the countless hits and classics, the Everly Brothers inspired bands like the Beatles, Simon and Garfunkel, the Kinks, Buddy Holly and many groups that utilize the blend of two-part harmony. Their career spanned three decades, and they continue to influence artists around the world.
