The Chieftains: The Irish Goodbye

NOTE LOCATION: Zellerbach Hall

The sweetest sounds this side of County Cork! Far and away “the world’s best-loved Irish folk band, both for their superb musicianship and their sense of adventure” (The Guardian, London), the Chieftains cap 57 years of music making with a tour for the ages. Beloved by fans for bringing the elegant simplicity and fiery virtuosity of Irish folk music into a dizzying array of musical contexts—including collaborations with Ry Cooder, Mick Jagger, Bon Iver, and traditional musicians from Mexico—the six-time Grammy winners are equally at home in a grand concert hall or an after-hours pub jam session. Don’t miss a chance to say goodbye to these folk music legends!
