The Irish Brothers - Folk Music Friday

From the venue:

Come join us for a trip back to the music that made Hootenannies popular gatherings throughout the country.

Joining us this Friday is Sandy Flynn, who together with George Hergen makes up the Irish Brothers duo. Feel free to bring an instrument, just listen, or sing along. Folk music is “the music of the people” and it’s all fun.

The Irish Brothers are Sandy “Sandyman” Flynn and “Captain” George Hergen. This is a unique team – Sandyman comes from the mountains Western North Carolina with the Captain hailing from the canyons of New York City. The two started performing together thirty-five years ago when they worked ‘suit’ jobs at IBM. Both draw from their Irish heritage for material – their music practically maps the Irish cultural integration into the ‘new country’ – from traditional Irish ballads, to original songs of love, drinking, revolution and redemption.
