The Blarney Stone will host five straight days of live music to mark the halfway point to St. Patrick's Day.
. Two Feet Short, the Blarney Rebel Band, Cliudan, the Hylands and Pat Kane will each bring an Irish flair to their performance. Two Feet Short consists of Jim Flynn and Don Meixner, both members of The Flyin' Column.The duo mixes American folk, country and rock ‘n' roll into their Irish repertoire.

. The Blarney Rebel Band brings a combination of pub and sea songs, jigs, rebel songs and ballads, all under the umbrella of traditional Irish music.

. Cliudan is a Celtic roots band fusing progressive and traditional styles. Their album “Anymore” was named Best Folk/Bluegrass Album at the 2000 SAMMY awards in Syracuse.

. The Hylands is a family of musicians - Brian, Peggy and Mary Pat - from the Binghamton area. They perform traditional and contemporary Irish songs in English and Gaelic.

. Pat Kane, also known as “The Balladeer of the Southern Tier,” is a soloist who performs jigs, reels, and ballads on fiddle, guitar or bodhran. His last notes at the Blarney Stone will signal less than six months left until St. Patrick's Day.
