In the 1800s, the Great Hunger drove a wave of Irish immigrants through Ellis Island and into New York City, and they brought along their music. Dublin balladeer Macdara Yeates follows that path, presenting Irish songs of emigration, love, humor, local narratives, and revolution with rich insights on the history of the songs and their collection. Extend your celebration of St. Patrick’s Day and pay tribute to the generations of singers who carried these songs forward.
