- Stephen's
Green - A local favorite, Stephen’s
Green provides
an outstanding array of haunting ballads, rollicking jigs and reels
and hand-clapping sing along favorites, as well as first-rate original
compositions. Martin Doyle and Andy O'Driscoll, both
natives of Dublin, by chance combined their outstanding musical
talents several years ago. They have since firmly
established themselves on the Irish music scene in the United States,
performing in Irish venues across the country where they are acclaimed
as one of the hottest Irish duos on the circuit. They have
appeared at QUAD CITIES IRISH FESTIVAL a number of times as well as performing
at the Blueport Junction in Davenport.
