Their influence was felt nationally and locally, from vaudeville to the age of radio and television, and on dance stages or in concert halls and recording studios.
This seasonal celebration of families and their ladies features Kevin Doyle, National Endowment for the Arts National Heritage Fellow, Mary Lee Partington, regional vocal award-winner/NCTE inaugural Teacher of Excellence, Sheila Falls, American & All-Ireland fiddle champion and director of Gaelic Roots at Boston College, Torrin Ryan, multiple All-Ireland medalist and first on uilleann pipes, Tim Keohane, noted guitarist/vocalist of traditional Irish folk and popular repertoire, and a cameo dance appearance by The Dancing Doyles – Maureen Doyle & Shannon Doyle.
