The Makem & Spain Brothers: The Makem & Spain Brothers
Celebrate St. Patrick�s Day with the best of today�s Irish folk music, The Makem & Spain Brothers. Not in the past 30 years has a group taken the international stage with such vocal power and stage presence, capturing the essence of their genre, while standing out as something truly unique. A host of various instruments and five male vocals, using precise three-part harmonies blend perfectly for what many have described as a wall of sound. The Makem and Spain Brothers are at their best onstage where their talent and enthusiasm draw in fans.

The band of brothers who were once considered the new kids on the block, have honed their craft over nearly two decades of international performances and are now one of the truly stalwart, road-tested Irish vocal groups available. They have played before millions of people from Canada to Texas, from California to the Caribbean and over to Ireland, highlighting national PBS specials and popular Irish talk shows along the way.

The Makem Brothers, Shane, Conor and Rory, were born in Drogheda, County Louth, about an hour north of Dublin. They continue the lineage of one of Irish music's dynasties, begun by their grandmother Sarah Makem, who was sought after by song collectors for her store of traditional Irish songs. Their father, Tommy Makem, was the modern day Bard of Armagh. Now considered an icon, he helped to bring Irish music out of the corner and into the international spotlight, where it has remained ever since.

The Spain Brothers, too, learned Irish songs at their father's knee. Mickey's rich, baritone voice and Liam's mastery of stringed instruments quickly found a home when the Makems met the Spains and the brothers realized the power of their combined talents.

But folk songs are engrained in both families and their songwriting contains the timeless qualities of folk classics, songs of the worker, songs of the sea and Irish culture. They tell the tale of Ireland and its people - a culture that has undergone terrible strife, but remains strong.

Where is Irish music going? There are instrumental bands bringing it down uncharted roads, moving it forward and keeping it living. But there is only one band that is driving Irish folk songs into the 21st century internationally. That band is the Makem and Spain Brothers.

The proceeds of this event will support the Bristol Elder Services Emergency Assistance Fund. The fund provides financial support for elders in Bristol�s service area, that find themselves in financial crisis, by assisting them with the purchase of medications, food, temporary shelter, emergency repairs, and other needed items.

JUST ADDED:: If you ve ever wondered how Chip Taylor, the songwriter whose hits include Wild Thing and Angel of the Morning and whose songs have been recorded by Johnny Cash, Peggy Lee, Dusty Springfield, Aretha Franklin, Frank Sinatra, and the Hollies wound up pursuing a career as a country performer, don t worry. With the release of his latest album, Yonkers NY, he takes you back to the start of his life and explains it in a collection of songs with the patented Chip Taylor charm and grace.

Yonkers NY is a depiction of a fairly normal childhood spent in the suburbs of New York City with loving parents and two older brothers who only tormented young Chip in the ways older brothers always do. The family was subtly different from its grey-flannel-suit-wearing suburban neighbors in that the elder Taylor was a golf pro, not a businessman commuter (although he managed to convince his youngest son for years that he was also an FBI agent), as well as a high-stakes gambler on occasion.

JUST ADDED:: Rick Estrin ranks among the very best harp players, singers and songwriters in the blues world today. His work on the reeds is deep in the tradition of harmonica masters Sonny Boy Williamson II and Little Walter Jacobs, while at the same time pushing that tradition forward. The Associated Press called his harp playing, "endlessly impressive." The great guitarist Robert Lockwood, Jr. (who was schooled by Robert Johnson and who played on most of Little Walter's Chess recordings) told Estrin, "Little Walter would be very proud of you." His award-winning original songs have been favorably compared with those of Willie Dixon and the team of Leiber and Stoller. And his hipster, street-smart vocals are the perfect vehicle for driving his songs home.
For more than 30 years and nine albums, Rick fronted the jumping, swinging Little Charlie & The Nightcats, featuring guitarist Little Charlie Baty. With Baty's recent retirement from touring, Estrin -- along with the Nightcats longtime rhythm section of J. Hansen and Lorenzo Farrell and a new member, fiery guitarist Kid Andersen -- takes the lead on his own. The band's debut album, Twisted, while still swinging the blues, is a harmonica-driven, rocking, guitar-fueled rave-up. Featuring 14 songs (including 10 Estrin originals, two by Kid Andersen, one by Hansen, and a superb band-created instrumental), Twisted showcases Rick's seemingly effortless command of the harmonica, his streetwise vocals and his remarkable original songs.

Comedy night featuring Brad Mastrangelo, Christine Hurley and Graig Miller: Mastrangelo is a 15 year veteran of the comedy scene, and is a regular in Las Vegas as well as having appeared on Comedy Central. Mastrangelo headlines in New York, Atlantic City, Hollywood and virtually every stop in between. Mastrangelo?s unique routine hits home with audiences of all backgrounds as he relates tales of family, marriage, fatherhood and countless other topics. A frequent writer for Jay Leno's Tonight Show monologue, Mastrangelo?s observational comedy has earned him rave reviews and spots on the best comedy stages around the country. Christine Hurley was the first runner up in the nationally televised "Nick-At-Nites" search for America's Funniest Mom contest and frequently tours with national comedian Loretta LaRoche and works with LaRoche?s production company. With children at home and husband Jimmy Hurley by her side, there is never a moment in the Hurley house where comedic inspiration can?t be found. Christine has a way of looking at the daily struggles and joys of family life and finding the silver (sometimes more grayish) lining in everyday life. ?I can pretty much take anything and look at it in a funny way.. Graig Murphy rapidly shot to fame in part due to his hilarious impersonations on Sports Radio WEEI where he can be heard doing the voices of Red Sox Manager Terry Francona, Patriots owner Robert Kraft, former Sox manager Grady Little, announcers Joe Morgan, Jon Miller, Shannon Sharpe, and Harry Kalas, as well as Governor Deval Patrick, James Earl Jones and more. But Murphy is more than a sports impersonator as his stand up routine is more than funny as he quickly climbs the comedy ladder.
