St. Patrick's Day Fun: Plenty of Irish Music and Dance at Red Clay

The line-up for upcoming live concerts at Red Clay Theatre in Duluth includes Shawn Mullins, Jimmy Webb, the Buddy O'Reilly Band, and the Border Collies.

Atlanta-based Grammy-nominated singer-songwriter Shawn Mullins will be celebrating his birthday, a bit belatedly, with a bash Thursday and Friday, March 14 and 15, at the Red Clay Theatre in Duluth. Thursday night is sold out, and only a few tickets remain for the Friday concert, according to the Eddie Owens Presents website. Mullins is being joined on stage Thursday by Chuck Cannon and by Michelle Malone Friday.

The Buddy O’Reilly Band will present an authentic Irish music concert Saturday afternoon, March 16. The band recreates an intimate home gathering on stage with songs, dancing and banter. The family-oriented performance will feature songs in English and Gaelic and flat-foot (Appalachian-style) clogging by Jesse Edgerton.

Jimmy Webb, the only artist to ever receive Grammy Awards for music, lyrics and orchestration, will appear in concert Saturday evening, March 16. Webb began his career in the 1960s as a songwriter and wrote hit songs for Glen Campbell, Linda Ronstadt, Joe Cocker among others.
