Kevin McKrell – Upstate Irish

Celtic folk songwriting legend and Saratoga local Kevin McKrell returns to the Egg with his vast catalogue of songs and wicked sense of humor. McKrell is a masterful entertainer who has played festival stages, clubs and concert halls around the globe, including Carnegie Hall and Lincoln Center. A leading force in the regional Celtic scene, McKrells songs have become folk staples throughout the English speaking world.

Kevin McKrell has been at the forefront of American Celtic music in upstate New York since 1979 when he formed the trio Donnybrook Fair and performing his beloved songs such as ‘Donegal’, ‘ You and Me’, ‘I Miss the Rain’ and ‘All of The Hard Days Are Gone’. In the 1990s, Kevin formed the Celtic-bluegrass powerhouse fusion band The McKrells that has featured many of the region’s hottest pickers, and continues to be one of the top acoustic bands in the region. Kevin will celebrate his legacy with a concert featuring Jeff Strange of Donnybrook Fair, John Haggerty and Michael DeAngelis of Get Up Jack and a Frank Jaklitsch Tribute with Good Things with Michael Eck and The McKrells.
