Ireland’s finest songwriter Pierce Turner, formerly voted Ireland’s solo performer of the year, is planning on performing an array of his favorite classic Irish songs for the first time ever. Even though he has been lauded for his inventive contemporary compositions, his roots were actually sown in the soil of Irish folk songs and classical music as a boy soprano. Turner’s monologues and storytelling are directly linkable to Ireland’s history of yarning, mingling this with classic Irish folk songs will be a natural brew of potent joy, laughter and love. Turner who has performed with Philip Glass, Patty Smith, and Iggy Pop, is sure to delightfully push the envelope. This will be an opportunity to truly enjoy St Patrick’s Day with great songs and wit, in the presence of the man the BBC referred to as “Joyce with a Voice.”
