Local Musicians Rock Downtown

Local favorites Big Bad Irish were the stars of Friday's penultimate free downtown concert at the Museum of Early Trades & Crafts.

Big Bad Irish not only features classic rock and blues, but lead guitarist Scott McMahon actually makes his own guitars. Shawn Murphy, a Madison resident, also plays guitar in the band.

Perhaps the biggest crowd of the season enjoyed the cool temperatures and the hot rock and roll sound. 

Museum director Vivian C.R. James said that plans are already underway for next year's season on the lawn (or in the museum itself if it rains).

The final show of the season is Sept. 30 with classic rockers The Mood Swings and opening act, No Shame.
