Colcannon performs April 15 in Casper


Irish-American band Colcannon performs on Wednesday, April 15, 7:30 p.m., at Natrona County High School in Casper.

Here's more info from the ARTCORE web site:

In their long history, the beloved band Colcannon has charmed audiences all over the country in settings as diverse as the sunburnt crowds at Merlefest to the genteel patrons of a symphony concert. Along the way they have performed for television specials, done school residencies and garnered numerous awards, including an Emmy, a Parent’s Choice Award, a Western Heritage Award and an Audiofile magazine Earphone Award. Their seven CDs on Oxford Road Records have received enthusiastic reviews and have aired across America and Europe. Colcannon’s performances have been described as “fresh and exciting... a mix of polish and passion packed with subtle touches and fluid interplay...” “playing as sprightly as it is deeply felt, with poignant vocals that are as mighty as a spring storm” We think you’ll agree.Always a favorite with Casper audiences, Colcannon will include programs for elementary students this spring. The members of Colcannon all have extensive teaching experience and enjoy sharing with students at all levels. They have worked with elementary school children, graduate students, and all points in between, in settings from a 45 minute school assembly to a multi-day college artist -in-residence program.
