The Softer Side of Celtic with Jeff Snow
Sunday, April 7th, 4:00 P.M.
Join us for a performance by talented instrumentalist Jeff Snow. Celtic culture is woven deeply throughout the fabric of America and especially so in the Northeast. The Softer Side of Celtic combines the music, stories and a wee bit of history from Scotland, Ireland and England into a performance you won't soon forget. There will be singing, laughing, clapping and perhaps a bit of foot stomping!
