Pogey & Cara A Saint Patrick's Day Celebration

The Dana Center upholds our tradition of bringing you the most original Irish bands on the planet to celebrate Saint Patrick's Day. This year we bring a unique brew of Celtic music with two powerhouse bands from two surprising corners of the world. Pogey hails from Halifax, Nova Scotia, bringing with them an intoxicating blend of traditional and contemporary sound that combines original Celtic/Rock tunes with stellar instrumentals. A feast of fiddle, mandolin, acoustic guitar, banjo, bass, drums and four part vocal harmonies keeps this on the high octane stage show list for sure.

Cara calls Germany home but finds its musical roots planted firmly in Irish tradition. Weaving flute, guitar, piano, fiddle, pipes and concertina together with brilliant vocals, the band adds the flavor of German folk influence to infuse a fresh perspective on the music. With a sound that is amazingly fresh and at once wonderful, you can be sure it was introduced first at the Dana Center!
