“The ICC in Canton will host a number of concerts this summer and fall,” says Maudy Dooher, director of Programming & Membership. “Following on the heels of a fantastic Irish festival we will have Emish appear on July 15 for a great night of Irish music and a guaranteed ‘rare ‘ole time.’ “
“Join us on our outdoor patio before the event for summer cocktails,” Dooher says. “Our restaurant will be open at 6 p.m. Call the ICC to purchase tickets or to reserve a table at 781-821-8291 or purchase online at Eventbrite, tinyurl.com/jhr4v89.”
Other concert dates planned this summer under the tent at the Cultural Centre include: Keltic Storm, Aug. 11; Sharon Shannon, Aug. 19; and Chloe Agnew, formerly of Celtic Women, Sept. 17.

About the performers: Emish is high-powered rock group with Irish influence. New York natives, the band has forged its own Americana folk rock sound by collating a background of Irish, rock, and folk influences.
In Emish’s fourth album, the group ventured further into the Americana movement by focusing on their original songs written by front man, Bobby Curreri.
