Brothers Eugene & Pat Clancy first started performing with their family's Ceili Band in Ireland in the 1950s before coming to America in the '60s, where they toured as the Irish Ramblers, recording The Patriot Game for Electra and performed at Carnegie Hall. The Clancy Tradition is still a fun, talented Irish family band with Eugene & Pat Clancy, along with a daughter & son on fiddle & bass, and accordion added for good measure.

Call in your reservations for our March 4 show with O'Connell & Clancy to 401-725-9272.

Robbie O'Connell returns to Blackstone River Theatre for a duo performance with dynamic fiddler Rose Clancy. Singer-songwriter Robbie O'Connell was born in Waterford, Ireland, and grew up in Carrick-on-Suir, County Tipperary. In 1977, he joined the legendary Clancy Brothers with whom he recorded 3 albums. With the 1982 release of his first solo album Robbie emerged as an artist of major stature. Soon after, he began touring with Mick Moloney and Jimmy Keane, and also with Eileen Ivers and Seamus Egan in the Green Fields of America. Robbie has earned international acclaim as a singer-songwriter by making it quite clear that there's more to being Irish than filling stereotypes. The Boston Globe describes him as "a writer of timeless-sounding, emotionally powerful and often hilarious songs" and places him "among the most respected guitarists, singer and songwriters in Celtic music." Rose Clancy is a respected, high-energy musician playing fiddle, mandolin and banjo at concerts and festivals throughout the Northeast. A graduate of the violin making program at North Bennet Street School in Boston, Clancy founded and runs The Chatham Fiddle Company in Massachusetts where she also produces traditional music concerts.
