Irish Banjo & Homegrown Songs

Come listen to Irish dance tunes and singsongwriter folks songs.

This is an in-person program.

Ian’s 5-string banjo, 4-string tenor banjo and voice will be accompanied by Collin Rhoton’s rhythmic guitar and bass playing. Expect authentic, mildly jazzy folk songs woven together with Irish dance tunes & bodhrán playing. Ian hopes that audiences will walk away with fresh perspective, buoyant spirits, and kind hearts.
