Roaring reels, haunting airs, lively jigs, and songs old and new- get a dose of the real thing for St. Patrick’s Day!

The fiddle and guitar duo Karen Reshkin and Mike O’Regan love traditional Irish music-the driving reels and jigs, the haunting airs, the songs in Irish Gaelic and in English. They play and sing a wide variety of that music, from the 17th to the 21st century, in both traditional and newly-created arrangements, sharing the power, flexibility, excitement, and sheer joy of the tradition.

TICKETS: $10.00 Livestream Individual Ticket & $20.00 Livestream Package (Includes all four Spotlight Performances)

Off Square Music & the Woodstock Opera House will present “An acoustic evening with Mark Dvorak” on Friday, February 12th at 8:00 pm CST. The very special “Live & Live Stream” event will take place from the historic Woodstock Opera House, 121 W. Van Buren Street.

“The Woodstock Opera House contacted us about co-hosting a series of acoustic shows,” said Off Square Music board member Rich Prezioso. We’ll have a small audience in-house and live stream using three mounted cameras and a hand held. It should make for pretty exciting evening.”

The presentation will also feature conversation and interaction between artist, audience and curators Prezioso and Joe Pesz, who is a writer, producer and musician from Island Lake IL.

“Mark and I have been crossing paths for decades on the acoustic circuit,” said Prezioso. “He was the first we reached out to for this series, and we’re thrilled he is able to join us for our kickoff event.”

Three of the top bluegrass musicians in the Chicago area, Rob Anderlik, Pat Otto and Mike Church first met at late night jam session and felt a deep musical connection from the moment they played together. Even better, they discovered they shared a wide range of musical interests, ranging from Southern and Classic Rock, Blues, Swing, Jazz Standards, Cinematic Instrumentals, Folk Music and of course, Bluegrass. They formed a trio in 2015 and quickly built a reputation as one of the most versatile acoustic bands in the Midwest.

From the start, Small Potatoes have called themselves eclecto-maniacs and described their music as “Celtic to Cowboy”. They say it has taken them “years of careful indecision” to come up with a mix of music that ranges from country, blues, and swing to Irish, with songwriting that touches on all of those styles and more.
