Andy Irvine Solo Concert — Portland, Oregon, October 24
UPDATE: CONCERT IS SOLD OUT
Don't miss a rare chance to see one of Irish folk music's living legends live on stage as he makes his way to Portland on his US Solo Tour. Andy Irvine is one of Ireland's most iconic voices, hailed as "a tradition in himself." Over a 55-year career, he's shaped the landscape of Irish and world music, from Sweeneys Men and Planxty to Patrick Street, Mozaik, and Ushers Island. Deeply influenced by Balkan music and Woody Guthrie, Andy blends traditional Irish song with global sounds and his own timeless songwriting. His collaborations with Paul Brady and Dónal Lunny remain legendary. Andy's storytelling and musicianship continue to inspire, earning him a Lifetime Achievement Award from RT in 2018.
