On Sunday, Jon Short does the blues at Vincent's; Brian Richard sings at Funky Murphy's; the Gobshites are at Tammany; and of course earlier in the day the St. Patrick's Day Parade winds down Park Ave., sporting floats with lots of live music on 'em, including the Delta Generators on the Tammany Float and Fergus on the Mercy Centre float. The official after parade party takes place at the Hibernian Cultural Center, but we're sure any bar with an Irish name...or beer...is hosting something fun that night, especially if it's on or around Park Ave.
Tuesdays, the wonderful Sam James is taking over the weekly slot at The Lucky Dog. And this Tuesday happens to be the official date of St. Patrick's Day. Fergus is out at O'Connor's, which is always a jam packed nuthouse (in a fun way); Five Hole does an acoustic set out at PJ's (which offers a $9.99 corned beef dinner all day); Fergus keeps it green at the Galway Bay; Bill McCarthy forgoes his usual open mic and sings at the Blackstone Tap; Aloud and Hey Now Morris Fader rock Ralph's; Sin City is out at Classic's Pub; and the Vienna Historic Inn and Restaurant hosts a dinner show featuring the Patrick Fyfe Trio.
Other stuff going on:
On Thursday, through photos, documentary film footage and audio clips, Professor William Matthews presents the Irish Fight For Freedom at the Hibernian Cultural Center.
On Friday at 10:30 a.m there's a preschool story hour called “Animals in Winter” at the Wachuset Meadow Wildlife Sanctuary in Princeton.
On Saturday at 1 p.m. at Union Music, Dave Curry leads a program called Drums for One and All, which is an open drum circle open to all ages and levels. At 6 p.m. out at the ADC Performance Center in Southbridge, there's a Texas Hold 'Em Tournament.
The Best Little Whorehouse in Texas takes the stage at Foothills Theatre throughout early April. This fun performance could be the struggling theater's last show, if sponsors...and patrons...don't step in. Support this local gem by heading out to a show.
If your idea of St. Patrick's Day is a little more subdued, Clark University is showing the Oscar winning The Tin Drum in Razzo Hall at 7 p.m. on Tuesday evening.
