Tara O'Grady & The Black Velvet Band

"Danny Boy” don’t mean a thing if it ain’t got that swing! Join Greenwood Cemetry for a fabulous pre-St. Patrick’s Saturday night of dancing, drinks and the sophisticated swing of Tara O’Grady & The Black Velvet Band in a stunning historic setting.

O’Grady and her band perform an irresistible mix of traditional Irish songs and jazz standards set to a swing jazz beat. Honored by the Irish Voice as one of the “Most Influential Women of 2010,” O’Grady has a voice that’s been compared to divas of days gone by and a look that conjures the Golden Age of Hollywood. O’Grady and her band perform regularly at Swing 46 Jazz and Supper Club, The Astor Room and Radegast Hall.

Tickets are $90 per couple or $50 per person for members of the Green-Wood Historic Fund and $100 per couple or $60 per person for non-members. Tickets include drinks and light hor d’oeuvres. Advance reservations required. Proceeds from this event support the Green-Wood Historic Fund.
