Sat, 28 Nov 2026 00:00:00 GMT

New Leaf is Kira Jewett (fiddle), Jim Bunting (rhythm, vocals and mandolin), and Julian Lamberston (fiddle). From New England, New Leaf is known for traditional tunes with tight, driving rhythm, and for their thoughtful mix of songs from Ireland's rich repertoire. The Boston Irish Reporter praised New Leaf's arrangements, stating their sets were created " ... with an ear to building tension and anticipation." Although many of New Leaf's tunes are from the generation-spanning Irish styles such as the Sligo and Clare traditions, their tunes have also been described as being "suggestive of longtime Northeast urban hot spots for Irish American traditional music, namely Boston, New York City and Philadelphia." Come join us for jigs, reels and heartwarming songs!

Music by Driving Route 9 (12/11/2026)

Sat, 12 Dec 2026 00:00:00 GMT

Driving Route 9 is an original alternative folk band from Connecticut. We combine celtic influences with solid rhythms and beautiful harmonies to give a unique show that you'll want to share.

The musical experience of Driving Route 9 loosely fits the description of modern Folk/Celtic pop, taking their listeners to a place you simply can’t find anywhere else. Featuring the song writing duo of Becca Gripp of Wilmington, DE and Barry O’Doherty of Donegal County, Ireland, with band members Jim David on drums, Paul Emmerling on bass and Geoff Cox, armed with his whistle, this originals band from Southeast Connecticut is creating an experience unlike any other. With an upbeat vibe and a Celtic twist, DR9’s high energy shows bring catchy melodies, beautifully blended harmonies, and a tight musical delivery. “Matter of Time”, DR9’s debut album, was released in June 2021 on all digital media platforms and vinyl copies are available for sale on bandcamp.com. The album features professional Irish musicians and was recorded and engineered in Connecticut, Vermont, and Dublin.

Music by The Jolly Beggars (12/18/2026)

Sat, 19 Dec 2026 00:00:00 GMT

The Jolly Beggars bring the rich tradition of Celtic folk music and storytelling to modern day audiences. Based out of Connecticut, their traditional songs and musical arrangements have exposed many to the joys of Celtic music. They tell traditional stories from Irish folklore and intersperse their musical arrangements with traditional reels and jigs. Characterized by their tight harmonies and use of guitars, mandolin, tin whistles, octave mandolin, mandola, tenor banjo, double bass, bodhran, spoons, and more, The Jolly Beggars have quickly built a solid following and continue to spread their music around the east coast.

The band performs music that is largely Celtic in origin (Irish and Scottish), with some pieces coming from an extension of that music in other cultures.
