Larry Kirwan Rock & Read Saturday Feb 4
Independent of Black 47, Larry has produced two solo recordings, Kilroy Was Here and Keltic Kids. He also has published two books, Liverpool Fantasy and Green Suede Shoes: An Irish American Odessey. Kirwan has also recorded Kilroy Was Here and Keltic Kids as solo efforts.
He has written eleven plays and musicals, five of which are collected in the book Mad Angels. Liverpool Fantasy, his best known play, has been produced Off-Broadway and at the Dublin Theatre Festival. He has also written a novel version of Liverpool Fantasy, a memoir Green Suede Shoes and Livin� in America, a collection of songs and stories.
His latest novel, Rockin� The Bronx, has just been published. Kirwan hosts and produces Celtic Crush for SiriusXM Satellite Radio and writes a weekly column for the Irish Echo. In 1995 the NY Daily News named him one of the top fifty most interesting New Yorkers, several places ahead of Madonna. It would appear, however, that he has lost considerable ground to the blonde seductress. Nonetheless, while brooding on a comeuppance, he slaves away in cunning silence on Transport, a musical with book by Thomas Keneally, that will receive a workshop/performance at the Irish Arts Center, NYC in April, 2010.

The Whiskey of the Damned is a five piece Celtic influenced rock group put together by Ireland native Eoin McCarthy. Located in Milwaukee WI, The Whiskey of the Damned are a fast rising group of talented musicians dedicated to playing high energy, raucous concerts filled with an unmistakable mixture of American and Irish rock. The band is currently recording their 2nd album to be released tentatively this winter and booking a full winter and spring tour. The band has already landed prime spots in festivals such as Milwaukee’s Summerfest, Manhattan Illinois Irish fest, and Milwaukee Irish Fest to name a few. Described as a mix of The pogues, Dropkick Murphy’s, and Flogging Molly you do not want to miss this act perform live.
Homeland first started up its engines 11 years ago and took the Midwestern US by storm with a unique mix of Celtic and energetic American folk rock. It was a ‘first of its kind’ band and quickly built a huge base of loyal fans. But, 2009 brought a change in the band’s lineup. The band added two new members: a new fiddler and an award-winning piper…and in came an entirely new dimension to the Homeland sound. Don’t be misled–this ain’t some tired old Paddy punk band. It’s an adrenaline-fueled Celtic rock ride as Homeland tears up the stage with blazing fast reels and jigs on the fiddle, Highland pipes, Uilleann pipes, Scottish smallpipes, and Irish whistles in a throwback to its deep Celtic roots. The band delivers Celtic-influenced original rock tunes, edgy & high-speed takes on old traditional tunes and hard-driving instrumentals like you’ve never heard.

They also play a steady rotation of the hottest venues in their area, some of these clubs include, W.O. Wrights in Beavercreek, Bojangles in West Carrollton and Stubbies in Vandalia. ITHIKA has also been a mainstay at some of Dayton’s biggest live event’s which include, XFEST 2-007, WTUE’s 2005 & 2006 St. Patrocks Day at Flanagan’s and the 2005 & 2006 HauntFest/Boo & Brew In the Oregon District, playing infront of thousands at those shows. In January of 2007 ITHIKA aquired not one but two major beer sponsorships from Miller Light and Corona through Fisher and Bonbright distributing in Dayton and Springfield. ITHIKA’s future goals are to expand venues of playing throughout Ohio and the Midwest and capture the attention of many eager fans that have been waiting for the vibe, sound, and soul, they provide live.
