Irish music relays powerful stories of love and loss, patriotism and sacrifice, and a thirst for the dram or grog. It comes to you with a strong beat and lyric verse. Sing along or pound your fist on the table to “Whiskey in the Jar,” “All for Me Grog,” and “Wild Rover.” Get lost in tales of love and loss “Star of the County Down,” “Galway Girl,” and “Molly Malone.” Find your inner rebel in songs of patriotism and sacrifice “Roddy McCorley,” “The Foggy Dew,” “Bold Fenian Men,” and “Follow Me Up to Carlow.”

IRISH MUSIC — is there such a thing?

Yes, and Irish music takes you into its culture hook, line, and sinker. It’s more than just music, with courageous stories of resistance and sacrifice, land and liberty, love and loss; it cants of a thirst for the grog and flare for the poetic. Irish music is memorable for its strong rhythm and structure linked to true stories of gumption and love.

Here on St. Patrick’s Day, Gregory Ormson, BANE BITHIUNACH, “The Good Rascal” formerly of The MAGEES in Wisconsin and BIG IRISH in Hawaii

Artist Introduction

International performer Gregory Ormson (The Good Rascal) first sang with a small group at The World’s Fair when he was 10. After college, he led a touring music group through India, the U.S., and Canada; and he’s performed in Spain, Korea, Mexico, and Haiti.

Leading with a strong drumbeat, playing four instruments at once, the rascal adds a convincing vocality to Ireland’s powerful stories and invites audiences to sing along on Irish folk favorites.
