The Birchmere is a really exciting venue for us--hometown and nationally known. It's hard to get better than this. If you plan to join us, make sure you get your tickets early--they're likely to go fast.
HERE's THE SCOOP: Getting to the Birchmere early is never a bad thing--lots of neat people hang out there, and you'll often share a ticket with new friends. All Birchmere tickets ordered via Ticketmaster on the phone or online will be waiting at Will Call on the night of show. Will Call tickets are NOT available for pickup until the night of the performance after 5pm, at Birchmere Box Office. Venue doors and the Birchmere Box Office open at 5pm any night there is a performance (sometimes the Box Office will not open until 6pm during Bandstand shows). At this time you can pick up will call tickets, purchase tickets, and obtain line numbers.
The Music Hall opens and seating begins at 6pm, at which time you can order food.

In their write up they say "Call it folk with an attitude, acoustic rock with a traditional foundation. Irish to urban, blues to pop, their music is rich with intricate harmonies, lush melodies and uplifting inspirational lyrics. Siobhan and Michael have garnered songwriting awards from the Kerrville, South Florida, Falcon Ridge and Boston fests. Siobhan’s beautiful agile voice won a Wammie and Michael is a fine singer as well as a remarkable guitarist." Awwww...thanks guys!
