FINVARRA’S WREN at The Ark
8 PM/Tickets $15
Michigan-grown Celtic music. Celebrate the solstice with the Irish, Scottish, English, and Celtic-American folk music of Finvarra's Wren! This five-piece Michigan band plays invigorating Irish, Scottish and Celtic-American folk music. Traditional and contemporary songs are punctuated with wonderfully inventive arrangements of jigs, reels and hornpipes, and they offer original compositions that take their place in the living tradition of folk music of the British Isles. Among their hardcore fans is WDET "Folks Like Us" host Matt Watroba, who describes a Wren band concert as "a swirl of musical tradition and performance energy." Fabulous guest musicians tend to show up at any Finvarra's Wren show, and the band's Irish step dancing will chase your winter blues away.
