SUMMARY:Traditional Irish Music Concert in JP/Roxbury
DESCRIPTION:What better way to properly warm up a house than with a ho
 use concert? Help kick off the Fall semester and come listen to some g
 reat traditional Irish music on FRIDAY, OCTOBER 14TH at 8 PM at my hou

 Abarta on the Irish pipes, and Asher Perkins on button accordion. Read
  below for more information regarding the musicians!  There will be a 
 suggested donation of $12 at the door, but if you can't afford that, t
 hen whatever you can contribute would be fantastic!   Directions:  Tak
 e the T to the Orange Line and get off at Stonybrook. Walk left out th
 e entrance and take a left onto Amory st., a right onto School st., le
 ft onto Copley st., and my house is on the left. Easy squeezy.   Wanna
  drive over instead? There's plenty of FREE parking on the street!   T
 he performers are:  A native Rhode Islander, Armand Aromin has been pl
 aying Irish music since his early teens. He has been fortunate enough 
 to learn much of his music from renowned musicians Jimmy Devine and Pa
 trick Hutchinson, as well as drawing influences from the playing of Ju
 lia Clifford, Lucy Farr, Bobby Casey and Vincent Campbell. In 2010, Ar
 mand received 1st place at the Mid-Atlantic Fleadh in Senior Fiddle, a
 nd went on to compete as a finalist at the All-Ireland Fleadh Cheoil i
 n Cavan, Ireland.  California’s Joey Abarta is a multi-instrumentali
 st performing on the uilleann pipes and tin whistle, as well as the bo
 dhrán and other percussion instruments. He has been instructed by man
 y master musicians in the tradition of Irish piping, studying his trad
 e living in the United States as well as Ireland. By the age of twenty
 -five, Joey has already traveled to most of Continental Europe, the Un
 ited States, Canada and Asia, and become an All-Ireland Champion placi
 ng second at the Fleadh, Cheoil na hÉireann (The World Championships 
 of Irish Music) for his performance on the uilleann pipes.  11-time Mi
 dwest Fleadh winner, Asher Perkins, is one of the few young button acc
 ordion players within the USA. Coming from a musical family in Detroit
 , Michigan, Asher, along with his parents and sister, have had the opp
 ortunity to tour with their music throughout the US and Canada, as the
  band Finvarra’s Wren. Picking up his first accordion at the tender 
 age of 7, Asher’s unique, creative style of playing is likely a resu
 lt of being a self-taught musician, taking influence from other instru
 ments such as the fiddle and uilleann pipes. Often remarked upon is hi
 s uncanny level of energy, demonstrated in fast-paced sets of tunes, o
 ften lasting 15 minutes or more.  For more information, please visit o
