Atlantic Irish Fest Gigs 2024
The Kings of COol - Saturday Jan. 20
The Kings of Cool are from the small town of Ballyshannon in Co. Donegal, Ireland. Michael Christie, singer-songwriter and producer is the driving force of the band, along with long-time friends, songwriters, and established musicians, Jason Kelly and Stephen Gallager.
The band writes songs individually and collectively, mainly in the classic guitar pop tradition with added shades of country and jazz. Influences include The Beatles, Nick Lowe, Waylon Jennings, Steely Dan, Squeeze, and The Eagles among others. In their time, Michael and the others have toured all over Europe and have played in venues including The Olympia and the Bataclan in Paris, The Zwarte Cross Festival in Holland, and Moods Rock and Blues Venue in Monaco. They also shared the stage with ZZ Top, Super Tramp, Status Quo, Alan Parsons Project, and more. |
The Henry Girls - Sunday Jan. 21
The Henry Girls are three sisters from Co. Donegal, Ireland. They were brought up by music- loving parents who introduced them to an eclectic array of sounds such as The Everly Brothers, The Bothy Band, The Beatles, Johnny Cash and Ella Fitzgerald as well being surrounded by traditional Irish music. In their own music, they have a unique rootsy sound which blends their native traditional Irish folk music with hints of americana, bluegrass and blues. They are renowned for their fine close harmonies and musical arrangements and have been likened to such great musical acts as Crosby, Stills & Nash, The Dixie Chicks and The Be Good Tanyas. They write songs that are tuneful, catchy, and warm. Their repertoire is scattered with old and new and their style reflects many influences and tastes.
