We Banjo 3, the band whose members consist of two sets of brothers from Galway, Ireland, will be performing live from Dublin in a virtual event at 2 p.m. March 13 for the first time in a year.
Virtual concerts are restoring the faith that music can still reach millions of people. The pandemic halted concerts and has given music an unforeseen future, but virtual events are bringing people back together.
“The nice part of digital performances is with one ticket your whole family can watch together,” Gene Barrera, Marketing Supervisor of The Haugh, wrote in an email.
Enda and Fergal Scahill and Martin and David Howley of WB3 have won several awards such as Billboard World #1 Artist, Irish Times Trad Album of the Year, Concert of the Year (Irish American News) and Award-winning quartet.
“Their music will make you want to tap your toes, so I recommend a little room for dancing,” Barrera said.
WB3 meshes Irish Music with Old-Time American and Bluegrass influences, giving them a unique and impressive sound. The sounds of their tenor banjos, guitars, violins and percussion make people want to dance.
“The group is well known for their masterful control and playful, lively relationships with their instruments,” Barrera said.
The live virtual concert tickets are $25, and a percentage of the proceeds goes to the The Haugh. The link to purchase tickets is: https://shop.webanjo3.com/haugh
Take a phone, tablet, or laptop anywhere and enjoy the concert outdoors or in the comfort of your own living room.
“This is our first collaboration with We Banjo 3,” Barerra said. “We hope it is the first of many.”
