The Ithaca Catholic Worker presents a benefit concert of music and inspiration with
Irish singer Karan Casey, The Vallely Brothers and Robbie Overson
Karan Casey has been critically acclaimed from Japan to America as one of Ireland’s greatest singers. The Wall Street Journal has described her as one of the true glories of Irish music today.
“...I will be singing the anti-colonial songs, writing the love songs, doing the compassionate gigs,...for the immigrants around the world and against injustice. We need to get out there and make the world a better place. Stay strong, argue with your right wing cousins and make a change…” Karan Casey
Niall and Caoimhin Vallelyare part of the innovative Irish band, Buille, which was described by the Irish Times “as fresh a breath that's blown through traditional (and roots) circles in a long, long time. Buillel is the Irish for beat or strike, which only partly describes the impact of these amazing musicians.
A benefit to support efforts to end “the giant triplets of racism, materialism, and militarism”(Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.)
