The Irish Brothers at Autrey Mill Nature Preserve on March 19

Come celebrate St. Patrick's Day with some fantastic music in a local treasure, Autrey Mill Nature Preserve!

In celebration of St. Patrick’s Day, Autrey Mill Nature Preserve and Heritage Center is excited to welcome to its “Unplugged” stage, “The Irish Brothers!” on Saturday night, March 19. Tickets are $17, or $12 for Autrey Mill members or John’s Creek residents. The venue is lovely and seats are limited, so please purchase your tickets early, by going to: http://autreymill.org/performances.htm

We begin at 7PM with a pre-show social gathering inside the Summerour House, with complimentary refreshments, then walk next door to the Old Warsaw Church for the indoor concert at 8PM. These concerts have been very popular, so please plan ahead!

"There are only two kinds of people in the world: The Irish and those who wish they were!” The Irish Brothers are Sandy “Sandyman” Flynn and “Captain” George Hergen. This is a unique team -Sandyman comes from the mountains of Western North Carolina,and Captain George hails from the canyons of New York City. Performing together for 25 years, both draw from their Irish heritage for material. Their music practically maps the Irish cultural integration into the ‘new country’- from traditional Irish ballads, to original songs of love, drinking, revolution and redemption.

Sandy is a former songwriter on Music Row (Tree-Sony/ATV) in Nashville, and a founding member of the band Cullowhee, that toured nationally and internationally for ten years in the 70s/80s. George started singing and playing after his first visit to New York’s Greenwich Village in the mid-1960s. George honed his craft by traveling throughout Ireland with the great Tommy Makem. The team received the name “Irish Brothers” following a performance at The Folk Alliance several years ago in Memphis, Tennessee.

We’re looking forward to seeing you there! "Sláinte!"
