Known for their creative interpretations of the Irish arts in America, Kevin Doyle’s Roscommon Soles new show – For a Winter’s Night – will offer a Saturday matinee performance themed to drive away winter’s chill in this concert of traditional Irish step dance and American tap dance. The show’s lively music, song, and story celebrate the turn from winter toward spring when snowy or sunny holidays like Valentine’s Day and St. Patrick’s Day bring back festive red and green to the season.
The show will feature 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; John Coyne, noted vocalist and bouzouki player from the Boston area; Josh Kane, original cast member of Roscommon Soles on flute and whistle, plus dance appearances by The Dancing Doyles – Maureen Doyle and Shannon Doyle.
