The McKrells to Play the Strand Theatre on St. Patrick’s Day

Kevin McKrell pioneered American Celtic music beginning in 1979 with the band Donnybrook Fair. The original trio of Jeff Strange, David McDonnell and  McKrell’s 1982 album Tunnel Tigers remains a landmark of the form with its blend of Clancy Brothers swagger and upstate NY attitude.

Donnybrook toured throughout the U.S. and Ireland performing in classic Irish Folk music rooms McAfferty’s Red Hand in St. Paul Minnesota, The Patriot Game in San Diego, The Irish Village Chicago, O’Donaghue’s The Blarney Stone, Pittsburgh, The Embankment, Tallaght Co. Dublin, The Parting Glass Saratoga Springs NY .  

Kevin and his bands have performed for audiences at the top Celtic, Folk and Bluegrass festivals as well as Carnegie Hall, Lincoln Center, Troy Music Hall, Caffé Lena, Berklee Performance Hall, Proctors Theater, Saratoga Performing Arts Center, The Egg and more!
