Please understand that when a show is SOLD OUT, it truly is! We must adhere to fire codes and it truly is not possible to fit "just one more"... especially when we have had several people ask to do the same!
If a show at BRT has an advance price & a day-of-show price it means:
If you pre-pay OR call in your reservation any time before the show date, you get the advance price. If you show up at the door with no reservations OR call in your reservations on the same day as the show, you will pay the day-of show-price.
NOTE for prepaid tickets
or if reservations have been made but not pre-paid:
If you reduce the number of tickets requested or paid for at the box office on the night of the performance, that ticket must still be paid for! BRT requires 24 hour notice for cancellations or you will be charged for all seats reserved.

FLYNN COHEN and the DEADSTRING ENSEMBLE /
KATHLEEN CONNEELY and MARK ROBERTS
 Guitarist/composer/singer Flynn Cohen, known for his playing with Annalivia and the John Whelan Band, leads his own band of string geniuses performing original multi-genre acoustic music. Primarily instrumental, the Deadstring Ensemble combines influences ranging from Irish traditional music, old-time appalachian, bluegrass, folk-rock, and early music.
The band consists of two of the finest and most experienced acoustic plucked-string players in America. Matt Heaton, on guitar and bouzouki, is known for his world-wide performances with wife Shannon Heaton. He has accompanied many traditional musicians of note including the Boys of the Lough, has a Master's degree in classical guitar, and also performs on electric guitar in his Surf band the Electric Heaters. Danny Noveck, on guitar/fiddle, is a noted multi-instrumentalist and well-known guitar accompanist.
Tin whistle player Kathleen Conneely was born in England to parents from Galway and Longford. The Conneely home itself was filled with music from records, tapes and live tunes and she grew up playing music with her brother and sisters. Kathleen spent 1986-1993 living both in Dublin and London and was heavily involved in the very lively music scene in both cities. She moved to Chicago in 1993 and enjoyed sessions with Windy City musicians living there at the time such as Liz Carroll and Martin Hayes. She moved to Boston in 1997 and now lives in Rhode Island. Kathleen has taught whistle at Comhaltas Ceoltoiri Eireann in both Dublin and Boston, at the Boston College Irish Studies Program, The Catskills Irish Arts Week and at the Swananoa Gathering near Asheville, NC. She is joined tonight by dynamic accompanist Mark Roberts (Touchstone, The Sevens, Red Clay Ramblers) on guitar.
