If you think you’re missing out on all the St. Patrick’s Day Fun today, you’re in luck.
Irish-American musician Jimmy Byrne of Carbondale will host a St. Patrick’s Day Celebration show at 7:30 p.m. Wednesday, March 17.
The performance is slated to include a bevvy of time-honored Irish ballads, Irish sing-alongs, rollicking pub songs and a couple Irish-American originals.
The show will be made possible through Streamin’ Steve’s Guitars. Steve’s Guitars is based in Carbondale. The show, which can be viewed on grassrootstv.org, is slated for 7:30 p.m.
”My quest as a third generation Irish-American musician to ‘Keep the Tradition Alive’ is unique, and the fact that I’m (gratefully) ’stuck’ in Carbondale this St. Patrick’s Day is a classic Pandemic irony,” Byrne stated in a recent news release. “Meanwhile, we’re offering something for people to do safe at home!”

Inspired by our mountains and the creatures we share it with, the half-dozen songs on Lizzy Plotkin and Natalie Spears’ “Just Over the Ridge” are steeped in American musical traditions and powered by angelic vocal harmonies.
The album opener, “Seasons Change,” is an original they’ve been playing at shows since they began performing together four years ago. Spears wrote this poetic chronicle of a sleepless night spent contemplating the natural life of a mountain valley about six years ago during one such night in an old farmhouse off Highway 133 in Carbondale.
