The love of song runs deep in the Makem family. Rory is the son of Tommy (of the Clancy Brothers) and continues a legacy handed down from his grandmother, the legendary source singer Sarah Makem. Rory pulls the songs of the worker, the sailor, the lovers, the fighters, and the land from the pages of history and breathes life into them. An adept interpreter of folk songs, he masterfully accompanies himself on guitar, banjo, mandolin, or bouzouki. This promises to be an exciting evening of song!
