Surf Sounds Summer Concert Series - Brigid’s Cross

For 25 years and counting, Paul Baker and Peggy Goonan-Baker have brought an eclectic and entertaining collection of music to the stage. Formed in 1996, Brigid's Cross has played it all: true-to-heritage traditional Celtic folk, contemporary Irish music, country, rock, alternative, and originals. Truly eclectic music, with a Celtic twist! Audiences are pulled into a vortex of fine musicianship, humor, high energy and audience participation when they see a BC performance. Currently, Brigid's Cross mostly performs as a two piece, and has for the last 12 years or so. Paul (Paulie) is the Master of Ceremonies, and a master violinist, to boot. He has been performing in bands for over 40 years, and as a soloist since he was a young child, and his talent and experience certainly shine. Peggy and Paulie are both strong singers, and Peggy's main instrument is the keyboard; she really wallops on the bodhran, as well, not to mention her AMAZING SUPER HUMAN BEER FOUNTAIN!!! She has been involved in music since she was a young child, and has been performing professionally for over 30 years. Paulie and Peggy's stage banter together is often said to be one of the most entertaining parts of the show. They often utilize technology to fill out their sound, frequently using backing guitar tracks featuring their semi-retired guitarist, and nephew, Richie Reece. Want dinner and a show? No worries!
