Dublin native and Philadelphia resident, John Byrne, brings his band of multi-instrumentalists vibrantly executing their brand of ferocious folk at the July 19 Summer Concerts Series performance.
Critical Acclaim Their live sets will leave you “breathless, exhausted and delighted”(Irish Philadelpia) as they seamlessly weave original songs and pure Celtic Folk. Rich with the sounds and themes of Irish tradition, one that survives in a modern world… full of raw strength… puts me in mind of an Irish Alejandro Escavedo” Sing Out “One of the few musical artists today who truly manage to be traditional and modern at the same time.” Philadelphia Inquirer “He’s good, period, with material that’s edgy yet accessible in a Luka Bloom meets Bob Dylan kind of way.” Philadelphia Daily News

Two musical storytellers weave their tales at the September 28 Summer Concerts Series performance.
Marc Douglas Berardo
Marc Douglas Berardo’s songs mine the deep feelings and lessons gleaned from real-life characters and situations. It’s his songs combined with an onstage presence that uses humor and deft storytelling to rally an audience and lead them into a deep and sometimes spiritual experience. It’s an adventure that brings to mind James Taylor, Jimmy Buffett, Guy Clark, or Steely Dan with a touch of Mark Twain or Hunter S. Thompson for good measure. After thirty years of bars, theaters, house concerts, and festivals as well as a boatload of song awards and national recognition, Berardo has established himself as the real deal.
Walt Wilkins
Hailing from Texas, and on the road for 25 years, Walt Wilkins has made nine solo records, four records with The Mighty Mystiqueros, and one with his wife Tina. He’s had 100 or more songs recorded by other artists, and traveled a fair part of the world.
