The Craic Show
The CRAIC Show is an intense & wildly entertaining act, made up of four international travelers who, in 1541, were banded together on an ancient battlefield. This unique merging of music from far away lands brings a sound that is unlike any other.
Irishman Daniel O'Ryan leads this group with roguish vocals, rhythmic mandolin, and intense bagpipes. These pipes are paired up with enchanting Franka Von Liechtenstein playing harmonizing violin & nyckelharpa. The energy & enthusiasm of Cockney mate, Dylan Copperpot, on percussions is delightfully contagious. Anchoring the band with strong vocals & heavy bass drum is the Nordic beauty, Tonya Den Norse.
Watching the group switch and interchange instruments throughout the show is something to see, songs are often started on pipes and ended with the entire group on percussions. Ever-changing and constantly blending styles, The CRAIC Show is always bringing a fresh, high energy blend of World Medieval Music.

Iron Hill Vagabonds
The Iron Hill Vagabonds are a traditional Irish Folk duo performing a vast acoustic mix of both classic and original songs.

Mark and Ehrich Gauvin have been performing their whole lives, both individually and as a duo. They really are full time Vagabonds! Even between performances, they hold steadfast to the belief that not all those who wander are lost. They get their name from 200-year-old family home in New York’s Hudson Valley that they grew up in. It comes from the forested hillside riddled with colonial era iron mines. It was at that old farmhouse they sat around the fire and learned to share their musical tradition with their friends and family.
