Introduction to Irish Music Workshop
Schedule:
Saturday Workshop Tent #2 2:30 – 3:15
Have you ever wondered: What is the difference between jigs and reels? What do you call those instruments? How can people from all over the world sit in a circle and play the same song? This workshop will take a big-picture look at what makes Irish music…Irish! Get a chance to hear tunes, songs, and explanations from some of Dayton Celtic Festival’s top Irish and American headliners. Feel free to come ready with questions. Participating Artists: Shane Hayes (Socks in the Frying Pan).
Presenter: Daniel McKewen (Drowsy Lads)
Since a young age, Daniel has been drawn to music. With a foundation as a drummer, his guitar playing has been described at “driving” and “rhythmic”. At a later age he added the uilleann pipes to his arsenal. As a founding member of The Drowsy Lads Daniel has had the pleasure of playing and teaching at some of the largest Irish Music gatherings in the world.
