From Texas to Tipperary

A hot-licks homage to the rich roots tradition of Celtic-Americana. On stage together for the first time, some of Canada's finest musicians play the music that's flourished since Irish and Scottish immigrants settled in Appalachia. Follow the tuneful path of "old-country" music in the new world, where it gave birth to the soulful, raw sounds of "new" old-time acoustic music. Always alive, the Celtic-Americana sound is thriving anew today!

For this one-night-only CelticFest premiere, join us on a music journey from Galveston to Galway, Nashville to Newcastle, Austin to Armagh featuring: Jim Byrnes, Roy Forbes, Steve Dawson, Babe Gurr, T. Nile, Fish and Bird, The Matinée and Farrell Spence. Our very own CelticFest House Band performs throughout the evening, and includes some of Celtic music's brightest stars: Adrian Dolan, Keona Hammond, Kalissa Hernandez, Darren Parris and the inimitable leader of the Paperboys, Tom Landa.

From heartrending Irish ballads to rousing good-time songs to original Americana roots tunes with a decidedly Celtic twist, From Texas to Tipperary showcases why Celtic music's intoxicating influence endures and thrives across borders and time. In the hands of a kicking roster of music maestros, a once-in-a-lifetime concert beckons - a night that lovers of great Celtic, acoustic and roots music simply cannot miss.

San Patricios Concert
From Galway to Guadalajara

An evening with The San Patricios - From Galway to Guadalajara

Blistering rhythms, lilting melodies, infectiously danceable tunes - these are just a few things that Irish and Mexican music have in common. But in this unique and exciting concert experience, they are just a few of the surprising connections in store.

Join us for a night when Ireland and Mexico come together in a sizzling lineup featuring Mariachi Los Dorados, Locarno, The Paperboys and The CelticFest House Band (Adrian Dolan, Keona Hammond, Kalissa Hernandez, Darren Parris and Tom Landa).
Mariachis and Celts join forces for a rambunctious evening of brilliant music, revelry and high-steppin' dance.

The history of the San Patricios serves as inspiration for this special gathering. Back in 1846, Irish immigrants in the US army chose to desert and join the Mexican army rather than fight fellow Catholics. They called themselves the St. Patrick's Battalion - the San Patricios. These Irish deserters found common ground with their Mexican cousins - and that common ground bears new fruit when Vancouver's hottest Celtic bands perform with Canada's premier mariachi orchestra on the CelticFest stage.

Don't miss this rousing night of Mexican and Irish music where jigs and reels meet huapangos and sones, Celtic melody meets hot Latin rhythms, and boleros meet bodhráns. This unique collaboration offers great musicianship, a vast range of rhythms with brilliant brass and blazing fiddles and a packed dance floor - all the necessaries for a spectacular night. Kilts and sombreros will be a-flying!
