Irish Singer-Comedian Seamus Kennedy in Concert

Seamus Kennedy is

unique among folk singers.  He is blessed

with a gorgeous voice, an impeccable guitar style and the ability to

impersonate a dyslexic sheep.  Audience

members at a Seamus Kennedy concert find themselves chortling, laughing,

singing and sometimes even dancing uncontrollably.  Join us for an evening of uproarious

family-friendly fun at the Knox Presbyterian Church on January 4 at 8 p.m. and

hear Seamus Kennedy’s hilarious repertoire of Irish, Scottish and American

songs, stories, and tongue twisters.

Originally from Belfast, Northern Ireland, Seamus Kennedy honed his craft over 37 years of performing in America and Great

Britain.  He was first influenced by the

legendary Clancy Brothers and Tommy Makem; from them he learned the importance of

being an all-round entertainer, not just a solid musician and singer.

Members of the

Washington Area Music Association have voted Seamus “Best Irish Male Vocalist”

several times. He has released 14 recordings and co-authored a book of road

stories, Clean Cabbage in the Bucket (And

Other Tales from the Irish Music Trenches), with four of his musical

colleagues.  You can learn more about

Seamus at his website, seamuskennedy.com. 

NOTE:

on the Route 50 frontage road in front of the church (check parking signs) or

across Route 50 in the Fairfax County Public Library lot. Traffic light

with crosswalks and walk signals is available at Route 50 & Allen St.
