O'hAnleigh returns to Woburn

The Citizens Park Summer Concert Series continues with its fourth concert this Friday, August 22, featuring óhAnléigh. The concert runs from 7-9 p.m. in Citizens Park, located on Main Street (Route 38) across from the Common.  This concert is sponsored by Sean P. Coakley.

Performing the music of Ireland, the Irish, and Irish America, Vermont trio óhAnléigh draws on their ancestral roots and diverse musical talent to entertain audiences with the lively and haunting rhythms of Irish and Irish American culture. They were a big hit at WorldFest Woburn! in 2007.

óhAnléigh has developed a diverse and unique sound – everything from haunting ballads to Irish folk and rollicking pub songs; Irish-American “tin pan alley” tunes, songs of rebellion, and traditional Celtic sets. This sound stems from their vocal talents – Becca's haunting soprano, Cindy’s smooth alto, and Tom’s baritone, either as soloists or harmonizing. Supporting their vocals are the instruments they play – 6 and 12-string guitar, bouzouki, mandolin, bass, fiddle, tenor banjo, penny whistles, harmonica, bowed psaltry, dulcimer, autoharp, bodhráns, bones, spoons, and a variety of other small percussion instruments, many home-made and styled for particular songs.

Bring your family, friends and lawn chairs to Citizens Park to enjoy free concerts every other Friday throughout the summer.  With generous support from local businesses, the Concert Series is free to the public. 
 
This is the sixth year that the Citizens Park Summer Concert Series will entertain Woburn residents.  The concerts are a great way to enjoy summer nights with your fellow community members, and at the great location also a chance to shop and have dinner in Woburn Center.
 
“The Concert Series brings great music to Woburn Center,” commented SCI President David Crowley.  “And, in keeping with our mission, it really brings people of all ages and backgrounds together.”
