Across the Pond | St. Patrick’s Day Concert
with appearances by Bern n’ Bridge and The Coyle School of Irish Dance
Presented by Carlisle Theatre
Monday, March 17 @ 7:30pm
Get Tickets at: carlisletheatre.org

“Across the Pond’s unique style has quickly made them a regional favorite. They start with pure-drop, Celtic trad folk music and then have their way with it. Their extensive musical backgrounds, rooted in bluegrass, country, rock, classical and Appalachian Mountain music, allow them to create unique, interesting and powerful arrangements, never straying too far from the traditional roots.

Their music is suitable for all ages. They have performed many notable shows, including for NY Times Best Selling Author Nora Roberts’ re-release of her Irish Trilogy; English playwright Jez Butterworth’s Broadway cast of The Ferryman; the Canadian Government; Captify’s Manhattan office; and many, many more shows and festivals in the Eastern US and Canada.

Truly a professional band, they carefully tailor their show for each occasion. They hope to transfer their energy and love for Celtic music to the audience, leaving them wanting more.
South-central PA’s amazing duo Bern n’ Bridge will perform an opening set from 7:30-8:00pm. The Coyle School of Irish Dance will perform a variety of dances from 9:00pm to 9:30pm.”
