Jimmy Keane & Pat Broaders (BOHOLA) livestream @ 6 p.m.
CelticMKE presents Irish music accordion virtuoso Jimmy Keane and bouzar player/vocalist Pat Broaders who comprise Bohola, Irish music’s newest supergroup. Bohola play a driving, muscular and yet very emotive style of Irish music with deep roots in the “pure drop” tradition, infused with the raw and gritty urbanized musical vernacular of the Irish and Irish-American experience.
The key to their sound is the interplay between the musicians and the approach they take to their music. “It is the music that counts,: says Keane. “We really listen to and respond to each other when we play—bending, twisting, and caressing the music as it flows along.”
