The Black Brothers, Shay and Michael Black, return to
KALW after a long absence.  The brothers will catch us
up on what they’ve been doing and regale us with their
songs and family stories.  They’ll perform with their
band on St. Patrick’s tomorrow (Friday) evening at the
Freight & Salvage in Berkeley and this Saturday
evening at the Sunnyvale Theater, 550 E. Remington Dr.
in Sunnyvale.

Sharon Shannon and her band will follow the brothers.
Sharon is among the finest accordionists performing
Irish music today.  She makes her debut on KALW and
will preview some new tunes from her forthcoming CD
“Sacred Earth.”

Valerie Rose and her band will close out our St.
Patrick’s celebration.  Valerie is a local
singer/fiddler who’s performed Irish and Celtic music
for many years in the Bay Area.  She’s spearheading a
benefit concert “Irish Musicians Against Hate” on
Saturday March 25th at the Congregational Church of
Belmont, 751 Alameda de las Pulgas in Belmont.
Proceeds will benefit the ACLU and the NRDC.
