SongLives
Curated by Grammy Award-winner Susan McKeown

After two successful seasons including musicians Mark Geary, Declan O’Rourke, Wallis Bird and Mundy, we present the third installment of SongLives, bringing the richness of the busking tradition of Dublin’s Grafton Street to New York City. Some of Ireland’s best contemporary songwriters will tell their stories up close and acoustically in the Donaghy Theatre.

Saturday, March 9 | 8 pm

The Guggenheim Grotto

Dublin alt-folk songwriters Kevin May and Mick Lynch of The Guggenheim Grotto bring their rich, multi-instrumental soundscapes of melancholy and jubilance to the Irish Arts Center this March. The duo’s signature mix of timeless folk, soaring melodies and emotionally intelligent lyrics have appeared on major network primetime TV shows like One Tree Hill and Brothers And Sister.

Jenna Nicholls

Jenna has toured all over the world and with a variety of well known and talented artists such as Oscar-winner Glen Hansard, Tony Winner Steve Kazee (Once) The Hothouse Flowers, Nouvelle Vague, and Mark Geary.
