Seamus Kennedy
It may be two months after St. Patrick's Day, but you'll still be able to get your Irish up with an evening of wonderful music and tall tales from this veteran of the Irish/Celtic festival circuit. Originally from Belfast, Northern Ireland, Seamus has been entertaining audiences all over the United States for almost four decades. An accomplished guitarist with a ready wit and a vast store of songs, he travels the country performing for thousands each year.
Seamus was first influenced by the legendary Clancy Brothers and Tommy Makem, and from them he learned the importance of not only being a solid musician and singer, but also of being an all-round entertainer. Kennedy’s ability to combine a total command of the music with humor makes him unique in the industry. His strong interactive entertainment skills and his participation with his audiences have helped him create an exceptionally loyal fan base everywhere he goes.
His return visit to Williamsburg is co-sponsored by the local Ancient Order of Hibernians chapter, who will be selling refreshments before and at the intermission of his performance.
Tickets:
$15 adults • $12 Friends of WRL or students w/ ID • $8 under 16
There is a
deep respect for heritage and culture,
even when it is often delivered through irreverent humor.
His stories and his songs all have an underlying thread
of love and respect for Irish and American
culture and for life’s lessons.
