The LAVA Center in Greenfield will offer an evening of Irish music on Saturday, March 14 featuring Charlie King and Ben Tousley. Music starts at 7:15 pm and doors open at 7.
In the spirit of St. Patrick’s Day, King and Tousley will provide a lively mix of ballads, anthems and singalongs celebrating the Irish love of beauty, passion for freedom and ever flowing wit and blarney.
Charlie King is a musical storyteller and political satirist. He sings and writes passionately about the extraordinary lives of ordinary people. Pete Seeger hailed him as “One of the finest singers and songwriters of our time.” King has been at the heart of American folk music for over half a century, writing songs, touring nationally and recording more than two dozen albums..
Ben Tousley has been bringing together the personal, spiritual and political in inspiring concerts for over 40 years with wry storytelling, love songs, incisive political commentary and stirring anthems. His seven recordings of original songs have received national airplay and he has toured widely across New England, the East Coast, the South and the Midwest. The Boston Globe writes: “Tousley’s ability to begin political writing deep within himself represents the genre at its best.”
The LAVA Center is located at 324 Main Street in Greenfield. Tickets at the door with $10-20 sliding scale.
