January 11 & 12- Forty Shades of Green
Upbeat Irish band based out of Minnesota. Check out their music on Facebook.

January 18 & 19- Hounds of Finn
A high-energy Irish musical entity forged from the roots of Celtic and American traditions. Based in St. Paul, MN, the Hounds perform Irish folk-rock and roots music from around the world, along with their own original material-topped off with a sprinkling of traditional Irish and Scottish tunes.

January 25 & 26- Paul and Lorraine
Paul and Lorraine have been playing Irish music together for a couple of years now, starting with the rouge folk band Folk Underground then splitting off to form their own duo. Something for everyone; lots of drinking, lots of losing your love, plenty of death, doom, and destruction, and happy little nights in the Pub. Not to mention some of the best Irish fiddle tunes going! They like to take requests and will play almost anything, if they know about half of it.

February 1 & 2- Tom Dahill
Tom Dahill and Ginny Johnson are superb entertainers with a fantastic repertoire of old Irish songs and dance tunes that you won’t hear from anyone else. They have command of many instruments between them, Irish button accordion, concertina, Uilleann pipes, fiddle, whistle, bodhran, guitar, and they sort of juggle these instruments between them to suit the sounds to fit the venue as they go along through their performances. This is the music that is part of the soul of Ireland.

An Irish Folk Band from Northeast Minneapolis, the Jolly Groggers are a highly energetic group with sensational musical capabilities. It is sure to be a fun and exciting night!

The Irish Music and Dance Association includes music at Charlie’s in our monthly newsletter and on-line calendar. If you have a schedule of performers for the next several months, we would love to have it so that we don’t miss anyone. The editor of our newsletter is at editor@irishmusicanddanceassociation.org.
