September 24: Brendan Mulvihill
Limerick fiddler Martin Mulvihill was the leading Irish music teacher in New York for many years but he never had a more accomplished pupil than his own son Brendan.  With a repertoire as wide as that of any living Irish musician, technique that rivals any classical violinist and a totally unique improvisational style, Brendan is without question one of the great Irish fiddlers of our time.

October  8: Donna Hébert and John Whelan
Donna, one of the leading exponents of French-Canadian fiddling in the U.S., will team up with All-Ireland button accordion champion John for a night highlighting the intriguing links between their two traditional dance music styles.

November 12: Damien Connolly and Matt Mancuso
Damien Connolly grew up in one of County Clare's most musical families. His dad Martin and uncle Séamus are All-Ireland champions on button accordion and fiddle, respectively.  Damien plays both instruments and it's hard to say on which he is better.  Long-time friend Matt is also a multi-instrumentalist, though the Brooklyn boy will probably leave the jazz trumpet home for this gig and concentrate on his exuberant traditional fiddle playing.

December 3: Gráinne Murphy and Friends
Boston-born Gráinne was tutored as a girl by Clare fiddle great Séamus Connolly. She shares her teacher's instrumental virtuosity but has developed a modern Irish fiddle style all her own, full of pulsing rhythmic drive and with a repertoire that blends old-time classics with cutting-edge compositions from today's finest tunesmiths.  A leader of the jalapeño-hot "Pride of the Subway Ceili Band," Gráinne (pronounced GRON-yeh) will bring along some of the top young Irish players in New York for this gig.
