Whitingham Free Public Library welcomes back Celtic Musician Jeff Snow!
Sunday November 21, 2021 2 pm
Whitingham Municipal Center, Village of Jacksonville
Join us for some for some Holiday Cheer and Christmas Celtic Music.
Jeff Snow is a talented multi-instrumentalist who shares the music, and
the stories behind the music, of Scotland, Ireland and England.
Growing up in a home where old Scottish folk songs were the everyday sounds,
Jeff developed an early love for Celtic music. Much of the history of these lands was
preserved in song. You will see singing, laughing, lots of smiles and perhaps a few
tears as we travel through time.
There is no better example of this than the story of John Hunt. In 1855, at the
age of 13, John Hunt left his family's home in Kilkelly Ireland and came to the United
States. He never returned to Ireland and never saw his family again. The Ballad of
Kilkelly Ireland tells the story of the Hunt family.
Jeff's music has been described as "quiet and relaxing." Much of it is, but every
once in a while he breaks out and the foot stomping begins. Each concert is a wee
bit different and adapted to the response and interest of the audience.
In concert Jeff plays the guitar, autoharp and bouzouki.
