Colcannon

Saturday, February 29, 7:30 p.m., at Augustana
Colcannon will fill Augustana’s sanctuary with authentic, Irish music—one of their FINAL concerts in Denver before members of the group move to Ireland. Colcannon has quite a following of music lovers with distinctive, inventive, and contemporary musical style while still keeping in firm touch with the heart and essence of traditional Irish music. Colcannon’s concerts are renowned for their energy, for singer/frontman Mick Bolger’s irrepressible sense of humor and sly wit, and, of course, for the music—music that expresses flights of joy, deep sorrows, and an unquenchable zest for life. Colcannon’s appeal crosses lines of age, gender and ethnic background. While the musical focus is on the beautiful wealth of traditional Irish music—all acoustic instrumentation, traditional as well as original tunes and songs, with some of the songs in Mick’s native Irish language—Colcannon’s true message is the story of the resilient and joyous human spirit.
