FROM PAGE 1 takes patricular pride in the concert series, saying “We are one of the few towns that did not suspend concerts during Covid. We had masking requirements and social distancing for those attending.”)

The Screaming Orphans consist of the four Diver sisters: Angela:bass, violin, and vocals; Joan: drums and vocals; Marie Th é r è se: keys, accordion, and vocals; and Gráinne: guitar and vocals.

The group has released 14 albums and has toured Europe, Canada and the United States and are consistently cited as one of the top Irish bands on the planet.

They appeared at the John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts in Washington D.C., on Late Night with David Letterman and they opened for Sin é ad OʼConnor on her tour.

The group is famous for its unique combination of original m elodic old-school pop songs and traditional Celtic music that has been passed down by their family.

For 90 rollicking minutes they performed numerous American classics, such as “Shenendoah, “Itʼs Hard to say Goodbye,”

“Home Away From Home,” and “Happy Together” as well as their own songs, such as “Napoleon Crossing the Rhine.”

Joan said, “We love small venues like Huyler Park. These concerts are so special. Everyone is welcome; they can come with scooters and chairs, bring their own dinner and relax and enjoy different sorts of music.”
