The Softer Side of Celtic
Celtic Music, Stories, and History with Jeff Snow

SATURDAY, February 25 at 2 PM

Jeff Snow is a talented multi-instrumentalist who shares the music, and the stories behind the music, of Scotland, Ireland, and England. Growing up in a home where old Scottish folk songs were the everyday sounds, Jeff developed an early love for Celtic music. Much of the history of these lands was preserved in song. You will see singing, laughing, lots of smiles, and perhaps a few tears as we travel through time.
