'Dublinesque' is a celebration of Dublin, Ireland in song and story. This new show is produced and presented by Irish singer-songwriter / pianist Eamonn Flynn (The Commitments, Maria Muldaur, Elvin Bishop, The Black Brothers) and is a fascinating mix of music, songs and stories. You will enjoy a portrait of Dublin through the years in an engaging performance rich in humour and soul. Along with old standards and original new songs, this performance features lively instrumental tunes on fiddle, accordion, banjo and piano. The show takes a memorable glimpse into the past and present of Ireland's capital. Meet a cast of her characters through the years - from street poets to ladies of the night, rebels to street traders, the nobility to the denizens of Dublin's infamous tenements. Through it all the indomitable spirit, pride, and wit of Dublin not only perseveres but triumphs.
Led by Eamonn Flynn on vocals and piano, Dublinesque features Darcy Noonan on fiddle, Hector Bragado on banjo and Felim Egan on accordion and bodhran.
