Great Irish Folk Music on April 17th

Corner House will be performing on Saturday, April 17th

"Corner House" - Music in the Irish Tradition At the Gage Hall Coffeehouse Saturday, April 17th, 7:30 pm
On Saturday, April 17 at 7:30 PM Andi Hearn and Davey Mathias who comprise "Corner House will perform at The Gage Hall Coffeehouse in a benefit concert to support academic enrichment programs at inner-city Charleston elementary schools. The dynamic duo,which hails from Columbia, S.C. has been playing music together for 20 years, and for more than 10 of those years, the two have been performing and teaching music from the vibrant living tradition of Ireland on fiddle, guitar and vocals.
 
Davey has played guitar since the age of 9 and has studied a wide variety of traditional styles. He has honed his DADGAD guitar accompaniment, learning from Dathi Sproule and Paul Brady, with a nice mix of his own thoughtful style. He brings an authentic and respectful sound that complements Irish traditional music beautifully and has performed with Irish music masters such as Randal Bays, Liz Knowles, Patty Furlong and Asheville’s Half Nine. Davey is an accomplished tenor banjo player, as well, and applies his warm, laid-back banjo sound to the Irish melodies.
Andi took up Irish fiddle in 1998 and has studied fiddle with many of the great players from the Irish tradition – Martin Hayes, Tommy Peoples and Maeve Donnelly to name a very few - and plays in a rustic and soulful style.  Andi also has a fine collection of old-style ballads and a rich, ornamented singing style to bring to the mix and has performed throughout the eastern US with Corner House and with Glen Road.  In addition to performing, Andi Hearn runs the Redbird School of Irish Music and organizes the SC Irish Arts Weekend and other events in order to share the living tradition of Irish music with the community.
Sponsored by the Unitarian Church, Gage Hall is located at 4 Archdale St. Admission is $10 for adults and $5 for students. Coffee, sodas and home baked desserts will be available. Parking available behind Gage Hall and at Charleston Day School. Call 843-224-4472 for more information.

"Coffee House" evenings are events, always a live performance, that are open to the public.  Tickets are inexpensive and a good time is to be had by all. Please come along, bring your friends, make some new ones, and in doing so, you will be supporting a good cause too  -- all proceeds goes to helping "Children in Need" in the Greater Charleston area.  We have supported after school enrichment programs for inner city children for six years -- over $30,000!!!
