The Kelly Girls
The Kelly Girls were originally scheduled to perform during the Jaffrey is Ireland St. Patrick’s Day weekend before everything came to a halt because of Covid19. So if you were planning on attending that concert, this is a great way get your Irish fix.
We will be chatting virtually with the members of the band about how they got started and where they “usually” play. They will also be introducing four songs off of their current album, “May You Always” along with videos of each song.
The Kelly Girls have quickly gained recognition as one of the most entertaining Celtic Bands in New England. Rousing renditions of songs and tunes rooted in the Celtic traditions of Ireland, Scotland, Canada, and America, along with captivating harmonies and instrumentation, lend to their signature sound. Plus, they invite virtual audience participation with hand clapping, singing, and dancing.
It’s really hard to find the right words. The Kelly Girls are so sorry to have to tell you that all of March Madness shows are now cancelled, or possibly just postponed. We’ll have to wait and see how ‘this’ turns out. Please know we will keep a warm place in our hearts for all of you, and we’ll see you when it’s safe to do so.

The Kelly Girls refer to the month of March as their “High Holiday”! After a long winter, we have much to celebrate, so it’s perfect timing for St Patrick’s Day festivities. We played library shows in Watertown and Reading, MA, pub gigs in Dracut and Hudson, a concert show at The Bull Run in Shirley, MA, plus a few other private gigs in between! You’d think we’d be tired after all this playing, but it’s quite the opposite; we’re raring to go! Here are a few photos from our shows. Thank you to everyone who danced and sang along all month!
Thank you to Jeff Ankstitus for capturing these photos!

It’s a nice feeling to be near the top of the heap, especially when it concerns my songwriting and the effort it takes to create and produce the work. The 35th Mid-Atlantic Song Competition just released its results, and “Reeds On The River” is a FINALIST in the Folk Acoustic Category.
I wrote “Reeds On The River” while on a holiday in Ireland. We rented a narrow boat and slowly chugged along the Barrow Line section of the Grand Canal – not too far from Dublin. The boat was 6′ wide and 50′ long, and very heavy, with living quarters below deck. As we floated along the canal, the cattails and lily pads were sucked under the water towards the boat, and danced back above the waterline as we passed. It was like a beautiful bow, a reverence, a consensus that there are things we certainly share, and yet so much more that only time and wisdom can reveal.
The Kelly Girls included this song on their CD, “May You Always”, released a year ago.
