Charlie Zahm & Friends Salute Scotland & Ireland at Ware Center Tonight

Local favorite, Charlie Zahm & Friends return to the Ware Center stage with a new program, "A Musical Salute to Scotland & Ireland" tonight, April 10 at 7:30 pm at the Ware Center located at 42 N. Prince Street, Lancaster.

Zahm, based in Chester County, PA, is one of the most popular soloists at Celtic music festivals, Maritime, and American Traditional music events anywhere east of the Mississippi. With a baritone voice some have described as "coming along once in a generation," Charlie has become one of the most successful performers on the Celtic festival circuit, weaving magical moments of Scottish and Irish history for the listener and viewer, with passion for the performance and a chosen repertoire pleasing to all members of the family. A master of the guitar as well, Zahm brings an authentic love and respect for the music he sings-and with dashes of humor and a light in his eyes, he will draw you into the stories of his songs.

Zahm will be joined by Baltimore-based fiddler Tad Marks, considered one of the finest fiddlers on the East Coast. His down-home charm and easy-going style have made him friends across the country, and his fine fiddling on stage with Zahm ranges from hard-driving jigs and reels to the most expressive accompaniment for vocals you will ever hear.

Also joining Zahm on stage for this special performance are master guitarist, Steve Hobson, and champion Highland dancers, sisters Casey Anne & Cailine Drummond. The sisters have enjoyed dancing competitively across the United States, Scotland and Canada for over 23 years with the Campbell School of Highland Dance. In addition to performance, they both now teach at the Campbell School of Highland Dance based in Maple Glen, PA.

Tickets for this performance are $25 general, $22 senior, and $5 student. Tickets can be purchased by calling 717-871-7600 or visit www.ArtsMU.com. Tickets can also be purchased in person at the Ticket Office located in the Student Memorial Center on Millersville's campus, or the Ware Center, located at 42 N. Prince Street, in Lancaster. Doors open one hour before each show for ticket sales, subject to availability.
