June 3 - The Irish Xiles 8:00 p.m. at Cherry Street Artisan
Sponsored by CMCAA

"The Irish Xiles are a family band from Dublin, Ireland, comprising of a father and his three sons. They came to St. Louis in 1994 and began playing as a group in 2002. They have developed their own style of Irish folk singing and have a large following in and around St. Louis. Declan, the dad, plays guitar and sings. Ray, the youngest son, plays bass, guitar and is also a main vocalist. Steve can get the best Irish sounds from his two keyboards and Damien plays percussion. Their fast songs have a driving beat and high energy. Their slow ballads are haunting and lilting. You are guaranteed a great night with the Irish Xiles."
