Pat O'Brien featured artist on Saturday Dec 19th

On Saturday, Dec 19th, the Spireside Coffee House welcomes singer / songwriter Patricia O’Brien who plays guitar, banjo, and tin whistle. Pat grew up in Boston, exposed to Irish traditional tunes and songs from an early age, and her music combines the sounds of Irish traditional and American folk music. She was a founding member and singer/songwriter for the women’s folk group Labrys. She also performed Irish traditional music in the US and Ireland with An Banna Ceoil and Agus Mise An. Presently she performs with Bradigan, a band that blends Irish, Scottish, and American music, and Newgrange, a new band of old friends. Pat has released several CD’s, and she maintains an active solo performance schedule, singing original songs and telling stories that reflect her life adventures, her travels through Ireland, and her indelible sense of humor. http://www.patobriensongsandstories.com
