Extend your St. Patrick’s Day celebrations another day with The Black Brothers Band on Friday, March 18, 2011 at 7:30pm at Don Quixote’s, 6275 Highway 9, Felton, CA (831) 603-2294, presented by the Celtic Society of the Monterey Bay. Shay & Michael Black (vocals, tenor banjo & guitar), members of the formidable Black Family singers from Ireland, will be joined by Bay Area fiddler Bobbi Nikles (founder of FiddleKids Music Camp), cellist Myrna Joy, Bryan Seet on keyboards, and award-winning Irish step dancer Aislin Roche, for a full blown extravaganza, including traditional Irish ballads, Dublin street songs, music hall ditties, contemporary songs, full-speed-ahead instrumentals, plus some amazing dancing interspersed with stories, jokes, amusing anecdotes, and the inevitable invitations to join them in the singing of choruses. And yes, it was Shay’s YouTube video of “There’s No One As Irish as Barack O’Bama” that went viral with over a million hits.
