The David A. Howe Library welcomes back the Emerald Isle Irish Band to the Nancy Howe Auditorium stage.
This western New York-based trio mixes traditional and contemporary Irish, nautical, and Scottish songs and instruments, with humor and storytelling. Emerald Isle Irish Band brings a variety of instruments including the banjo, accordion, guitar, penny whistle, mandolin, fiddle, harmonica, and spoons and bone. The group, playing together for over twenty-five years, is composed of Rich Schaefer, Chris Panfil, and Mark Panfil – all educators and professional musicians – and has been a crowd favorite at our venue.
This program is made possible with funds from the Decentralization Regrant Program of the New York State Council on the Arts, with the support of Governor Andrew M. Cuomo and the New York State.Legislature, and administered by Tri-County Arts Council. It is also generously sponsored in part by the Allegany Arts Association.
This concert is free and open to the public and will take place in the Nancy Howe Auditorium of the David A. Howe Library in Wellsville NY on Thursday March 7th at 7pm.
