MUSICAL LINE-UP
Derek Warfield & The Young Wolfe Tones—Direct from Ireland and on US tour, Derek Warfield & TYWT is an amazing five piece Irish band that entertains crowds throughout America & Europe. Derek is a legend in the Irish music industry and former leader of the Wolfe Tones. Damaris Woods, 3 time All Ireland banjo champion, heads up an unbelievably talented group of Young Wolfe Tones that will surely have you singing and clapping along! They’ve previously performed at the White House for St. Patrick’s Day…but this year on March 17th…they’ll be performing at the Golden Ace!
Brigid’s Cross—Formed 28 years ago in Cleveland, Ohio, Brigid’s Cross first appeared at the Ace a couple years later and immediately became crowd favorites with Paulie B’s blazin’ fiddle, Peggy’s kickin’ keyboard & bohdran, numerous jokes and even an amazing beer fountain! Brigid’s Cross has performed at many major Irish festivals and pubs throughout the U.S. and we are thrilled to have them back at the Golden Ace on Friday & Saturday!
Gaelic Brew–This two piece band, with lead singer Evin O’Riordan from County Cork, is making their debut performance at the Ace. Gaelic Brew has toured throughout Ireland, performed in Seattle and Chicago and are coming to Indy just to play in the tent on Saturday night!
Deardaoin—This 5 piece band began at the Ace during Thursday jam sessions. During the pandemic they focused their musical talent to the Irish folk genre and have performed for us on St. Patrick’s Day ever since! Their name might mean Thursday in Irish–but they’ll be performing for us both Friday and Saturday!
Laughing Jack—this Indy quartet was so good last year on St. Patrick’s Day that we had to bring them back again this year! Laughing Jack has been performing throughout Indiana for years. This talented group of musicians play Irish singalongs, traditional favorites and even some sea shanties. So get ready to chant and “shant” along with Laughing Jack on Friday & Monday!
“The Man From Donegal”–You know him, you love him….but we can’t name him just yet! I can tell you that he is flying in from Ireland just to be here in Indianapolis! And trust me, if you’re Indianapolis Irish you’re going to love this surprise! Performing all 3 days.
