Celtic Soul Extravaganza of Irish Music & Dance March 17, 2012

Celtic Soul Extravaganza -- a wonderful St. Patrick's Day celebration of Irish music and dance! Thrill to the stirring Celtic sounds of jigs, reels, and songs and watch stepdance team Anam Rince with their breathtaking leaps, tight teamwork, and exciting routines! Sean Lightholder starts off the festivities at 3:00. San Francisco's main squeeze accordionist Renee de la Prade takes the stage at 4:30. Celtic rock band Avalon Rising will rock you from 7 - 9, and stepdance team Anam Rince plus musicians will headline from 9:30 on.

Warm-hearted singer/songwriter Sean Lightholder's music straddles old and new traditions -- he will also have some special kids' songs. Accordionist Renee de la Prade is a dynamite solo performer; her eclectic music spans from traditional French and Irish to 80’s pop-punk to funny songs. Celtic Rock band Avalon Rising has been called "scintillatingly original" and "the group I’d pick to lift up my spirits or drown me deeper into my Guinness.” The Anam Rince stepdancers have individually won many awards and championships, and they will be accompanied by Celtic duo Margaret & Kristoph, plus master bodhranist Rob Wilson and violinist Cat Taylor.
