with appearances by Bern n’ Bridge and The Coyle School of Irish Dance
Presented by Carlisle Theatre
Monday, March 17 @ 7:30pm
An evening of high-energy Celtic folk music, dance performances, bar, concession, & more!
"Across the Pond’s unique style has quickly made them a regional favorite. They start with pure-drop, Celtic trad folk music and then have their way with it. Their extensive musical backgrounds, rooted in bluegrass, country, rock, classical and Appalachian Mountain music, allow them to create unique, interesting and powerful arrangements, never straying too far from the traditional roots.
They have performed at over 750 festivals, weddings, concerts and other shows. Founding member and Frontman Mike Morrison (Latigo Smith, Hired Guns), plays guitar, mandolin, native-American flute and sings lead vocals. He leads fast-paced shows, selecting pieces on the fly to keep audiences on the edge of their seats, smiling, clapping and tapping their toes. Founding member Dan Diviney adds bodhrán, whistles and lead vocals. He also does the behind-the-scenes management for the band. Molly Shortridge performs on several flutes and whistles, and adds vocals. She handles graphic and social media for the band. Lavinia Reid, a third-generation fiddler, brings a wealth of knowledge expertise to the band. Casey Smial has been with the band for a few years will be performing Irish step dances throughout the evening.
Their music is suitable for all ages. They have performed many notable shows, including for NY Times Best Selling Author Nora Roberts’ re-release of her Irish Trilogy; English playwright Jez Butterworth’s Broadway cast of The Ferryman; the Canadian Government; Captify’s Manhattan office; and many, many more shows and festivals in the Eastern US and Canada.
Truly a professional band, they carefully tailor their show for each occasion. They hope to transfer their energy and love for Celtic music to the audience, leaving them wanting more.
South-central PA’s amazing duo Bern n’ Bridge will perform an opening set from 7:30-8:00pm. The Coyle School of Irish Dance will perform a variety of dances from 9:00pm to 9:30pm."
