HAPPY 30 YEARS TO THE BURREN | |
That's right. January 2026 marks 30 years of service to our community. 3 decades of live music.
I did some math:
- The Burren Back Room hosts about 15 Events a week
- The Burren Front Room hosts about 10 Events a week
- 25 Events a Week.
- Over 100 Events a month.
Summary? About ONE THOUSAND, THREE HUNDRED Events a year!!!
The Burren hosts THOUSANDS of Artists and HUNDREDS OF THOUSANDS of Patrons ANNUALLY.
Just Like Forest Gump, "...and that's all I have to say about that."

What a score for The Burren Backroom Series!!! 2 time GRAMMY nominated artist Tracy Bonham will join the ranks of local rock stars to come perform at The Burren Backroom Series!!!
Join Bonham at The Burren for her spring residency that will take you on a journey from her demo tape days, to the scream that was heard around the world, to how she is currently alchemizing her anger into something beautiful.
PopMatters describes "Bonham, from the beginning and increasingly over time, is a riveting, complicated maker of pop music" and Billboard says: "(She) brings a sophisticated quirkiness to the femme alt-pop table unseen for quite some time".

SATURDAY FEB 28TH
One of the most influential bands in the history of Irish traditional music, celebrated its twenty fifth anniversary in 2022. Named after an ancient Celtic harvest festival in honour of the Irish god Lugh, the group that Folk Roots magazine once called an “Irish music dream team” was formed from members of some of Ireland’s greatest bands and over the years has proven its mettle time and again, having sold over a quarter of a million records, performed more than 2,000 shows in high-profile concert venues across 36 countries, and collaborated with many notable artists outside the tradition. Two decades ago they ascended to the forefront of contemporary Irish music, and there they’ve remained, a leading voice in the genre and the standard against which others are compared.
“…state-of-the-art Irish music as aggressively infectious as you’ll ever hear.”
– Dirty Linen (2000)
