One for the Foxes consists of Dave Curley on vocals, guitars, banjo and mandolin; Tadgh Ó Meachair on piano and piano accordion; and Joanna Hyde on vocals and fiddle. Curley is originally from Galway, Ireland, while Ó Meachair is from Dublin. Hyde is a native of Denver, but she and Ó Meachair — who are married — now both live in Dublin. All of the musicians had already established themselves with other acts — Curley in SLIDE and Runa, Ó Meachair in Goitse and Hyde in The Hydes — before teaming up. Curley, who is also an award-winning Irish dancer, met Ó Meachair at the University of Limerick. He was a guest artist on One for the Foxes’ self-titled debut CD, but he has recently joined the band as its third member. “Most of our music is interactive, so we encourage people to clap along and get involved. We try to engage the audience and not just stand there.” Curley said the band is named after a song Ó Meachair and Hyde wrote for a family of foxes they saw playing in their backyard. “It’s always a difficult thing, trying to figure out what to call yourself,” Curley said. All of the members of One for the Foxes write, and Curley said Hyde and Ó Meachair also pen instrumental works that resemble “mini classical pieces.” Hyde grew up with bluegrass and Texas swing music, while Curley and Ó Meachair were raised listening to and playing Irish and folk music. Curley said the band draws links between traditional Irish music and American folk songs. Buy Tickets Here •	7

Now imagine that it has decided to broadcast a special program from Dublin on April 24, the date of a festive bank holiday and the running of the Irish Grand National. However, in the midst of the broadcast a revolution breaks out! The BBC’s on-the-scene correspondents begin to report the dramatic events, while the program’s host back in the studio try to figure out what the crazy Irish are up to. That is the premise of our presentation commemorating the 103rd anniversary of the Easter Rising. Our talented cast of readers will mix history and humor inspired by the old CBS radio series, “You Are There”. Please join us for a unique blend of fact and imagination in the Pub Room one night only at 7:30 pm on Wednesday April 24. Everyone gets the member discount of only $10. • •	25 Irish Karaoke Irish Karaoke April 25, 2019 @ 7:00 pm - 10:00 pm NEW event to be held every FOURTH Thursday in the Irish Pub.

Sticking to traditional roots the Lads bring a fire and excitement that is quickly winning over audiences. 2018 brought the release of their 4th album, Everyone In, and the distinction of “Best Irish American Band of 2018”. With an undeniable genuineness that flows from their live performances, the future continues to look bright for these Lads. Ohio brothers John and Daniel McKewen, father and son Phil and Josh Franck, and lifelong friend Bryan Brookes bring to the stage a concoction of “we dare you to hold still” Irish dance tunes as well as a full emotional gamut of songs and good humor. Their authentic approach and deep enjoyment of people is a refreshing surprise to both casual music-lovers and those steeped in hardcore Trad. Besides packing out theaters, concert halls, clubs and pubs, the Lads are lighting up Irish festivals including Milwaukee, Dublin, Dayton, Cincinnati, Indianapolis, and Louisville. They were also featured at Lakeside Ohio’s Chautauqua series for four years, the beautiful Murphy theater for three, and were guest artists with the Otterbein University Orchestra. Each Lad is a multi-instrumentalist, and the combined lineup includes fiddle, button accordion, tenor banjo, flute, whistle, guitar, bouzouki, Uilleann pipes, 5-string banjo, concertina, and bodhran. The Lads are fond of creating their own spirited arrangements and offering occasional original compositions, even mixing in some bits of Bluegrass or Classical. But these never get in the way of their obsession with the pure old Irish tunes, songs, wit, and friendship that has defined Irish music for centuries.
