Music at the Main: Shannon Lee - Traditional Irish Music

Join us for a free concert in the auditorium with Shannon Lee. This music duo will play traditional Irish music complete with fiddle, guitar, bodhran, and singing.
Shannon Lee is a compelling Irish traditional music duo based in southeast Michigan with Hannah Harris on fiddle and voice and Alberto (Bear) Whitmer on guitar and bodhran. Their name pays homage to their formative experiences in Ireland—Harris studied at University College Cork along the River Lee, while Whitmer honed his skills at the University of Limerick near the Shannon River. They initially connected at The Ark's Gavin Family Crossroads Ceili and local sessions in Plymouth and Ann Arbor. Harris’ fiddle playing, both lyrical and driving, echoes the styles of Matt Cranitch and Liz Carroll, while Whitmer's sensitive yet lifting guitar work draws inspiration from Tony McManus and John Doyle.

I will be sitting toward the front on the left facing the stage.
Please join me if you arrive early. I will not be able to save seats. DOORS OPEN AT 1:45. These concerts are popular and will fill up.

When entering the main library door, turn right and go to the far end for the auditorium entrance.
