Join the Walkabout Clearwater Chorus on Saturday, March 22 for their March Coffeehouse, monthly gatherings featuring performances by folk musicians. Before the featured performance, audience members are invited to join the chorus in song. March’s featured musical act is Seamus Kennedy.
About Seamus Kennedy
In his thirty years of professional performing, Seamus Kennedy has taken his music from Alaska to Florida, Maryland to California, and a host of stops in between, playing everything from the pubs to the concert halls. As a result, he is a master showman with exceptional musical skills and an unmatched repartee.
Seamus has released eleven CDs of both contemporary and traditional material, including Christmas songs and a children’s album. The Washington Area Music Association has awarded him a WAMMIE for “Best Irish/Celtic Male Vocalist” every year since 1993. His versatility makes him a headliner at Celtic festivals such as Hunter Mountain (NY); Celtic Classic (PA); Longs Peak Scottish Irish Festival, (CO), and at Sacramento (CA) Highland Games. Seamus is often invited to perform for various organizations, including the Ancient Order of Hibernians, Fraternal Order of Police, Firemen, military groups, and the Bar Association. There is always something for everybody.
Seamus’ trademark is his ongoing interaction with his audiences. From the moment he steps on stage, he starts talking to them — and encourages them to talk back! He is quick with a quip and likes nothing better than to discover someone in the audience who is similarly inclined. Fast-paced humor is very much a part of what Seamus does, whether he’s telling a series of rapid-fire jokes or launching into a lyrical parody. Seamus seems to be having such a grand time and he makes it all look so effortless that it is easy not to notice what a superb musician he truly is. He will segue seamlessly from an Irish ballad about a dying town to a rollicking reel and then move into American music, equally at home with folk, pop, country, or traditional.

About the Walkabout Clearwater Chorus
Carrying on the vision of our founder, Pete Seeger, since 1984
The Walk about Clearwater Chorus is dedicated to promoting environmental awareness and social action through song and education and is a volunteer-run New York State not-for-profit organization. Walkabout Clearwater Chorus is a chartered member club of the Hudson River Sloop Clearwater, and our activities support the work of our parent organization.
The Walkabout Clearwater Chorus is more than a singing group. Beyond performing at various venues, including our own Coffeehouse, rallies, and marches, Walkabout brings folk music to the younger generations through school programs. First and foremost, the Walkabout Clearwater Chorus is a group of activists – using their voices to address the issues of today, uniting song with purpose.
