Upstairs on Main: Michael O'Leary & Friends

Hear incredible local musical talent with the Upstairs on Main music series! Enjoy the intimate, lounge-like atmosphere on the third floor of the hall. Grab a beer at the bar, sit with friends and enjoy the show! Dancing is encouraged!  

In anticipation of St. Patrick’s Day come celebrate with Cape Ann’s own Michael O’Leary and friends Bob & Jen Strom and Cindy McIntire for a spirited concert and céili session! For the first half of the evening, Michael and his stellar bandmates will play a set of traditional Irish songs and tunes. For the second half, they will open it up to others to sit in with them in an informal Irish céili. So bring your fiddles, flutes, bouzoukis, guitars, whistles and pipes and join us for the ‘ceol agus craic’ – Irish for ‘music and fun’! Some dancing could break out too!
