Blind Swine Speakeasy
The Blind Swine Speakeasy is planning on opening again but we want to ensure that you and everyone in our community is safe. So we’re following state and local guidelines that indicate masks be worn inside. AND…we are moving the band outside to the garden. I know… whoever heard of a speakeasy being out in the open… well, during a pandemic there is a first for everything! A cash bar will be available inside the building.
We will celebrate the culturally rich music of Irish immigrants as we welcome musical guest Turas. The repertoire of Irish and Celtic music handed down from generation to generation with its exuberant sounds and heartfelt lyrics became part of a new life in America. So sit back, draw yourself a pint, and join us in the journey.
Turas is a six-piece band that includes Mike Bergstrom on vocals, bouzouki, and guitar; Anne Marie Brinton on vocals, guitar, and percussion; Jeff Calhoun on vocals, banjo, mandolin, and guitar; Lauri Gannon on whistle, bodhran, accordion, and stomp board; and Rose Fahey Wright on vocals, flute, whistle, and percussion.
