Burning Bridget Cleary brings Celtic folk music to Hawley

HAWLEY — On Saturday, July 23, Harmony Presents showcases Burning Bridget Cleary for an 8 p.m. show.
“Known for their captivating sound and engaging stage presence, Burning Bridget Cleary is currently one of the hottest acts on the Celtic and folk music circuits," said Jill Carletti, managing director of Harmony Presents.
Bandleader Rose Baldino drives this band, delivering a dynamic blend of charisma, crackerjack fiddle work, and tightly woven harmonies. She's joined by Amy Beshara, a multi-talented musician, well-respected in the New York metro Scottish fiddle scene. The driving rhythm and bass end is supplied by Lou Baldino on guitar and Peter Trezzi on percussion.
In December 2013, Burning Bridget Cleary was nominated "Top Traditional Group in a Pub, Festival, or Concert" in the Irish Music Awards sponsored by the Irish Music Association. According to Jack Baker of The Irish American News, "This is trad music at its best; alive, vibrant and lyrical. Don't miss seeing this band."
The show will take place at Cocoon Coffee House, located at 8 Silk Mill Drive in Hawley. Audiences are encouraged to arrive early for preferred seating.
