Irish singer and songwriter, Brendan Nolan, brings to the Side Door an evening of his original and traditional songs and stories about Ireland, its history, and its people.
ABOUT THE ARTIST
Brendan Nolan is a true Dubliner. He grew up in Ireland at a time when there was a resurgence of interest in Irish music and when the singer-songwriter boom had taken off in North America. Both of these genres would ultimately influence his own music.
Brendan’s song-writing skills denote a deep sensitivity. He has a gift for storytelling. One of his songs, “North of the Rio Grande” was published in a school textbook in Norway. Another, “Far from their Home”, is in the National Archives of Ireland and National Library of Canada. It tells a harrowing story about Grosse Isle, an island burial ground in the St. Lawrence River near Quebec City for victims of the Irish Famine. The song was published in Sing Out! magazine.
Brendan is based in St. Pete Beach, Florida where he has lived since 1993. He has been featured several times on WMNF “Live” in Tampa. He has played at many festivals in Florida, among them, the Sertoma Ranch Celtic Festival, Florida Folk Festival, Gamble Rogers Fest, and Wings and Strings. He has been a headliner on three occasions at the North Texas Irish Festival and also played the Milwaukee Irish Festival, Jackson Mississippi Celtic Fest, Savannah, and Kansas City, among others.
