DERVISH brings a night of traditional Irish music to Stone Mountain Arts Center on Friday, Oct. 30 at 8 p.m.

BROWNFIELD — There’s no better way to celebrate a fall evening than with a night of great Irish music, and we’re delighted to welcome back Dervish, one of Ireland’s most celebrated traditional music ensembles, to Stone Mountain Arts Center in Brownfield on Friday, Oct. 30. 

With more than 30 years of playing together, Dervish has traveled a remarkable road, from the humble pubs of County Sligo, Ireland, to sold-out audiences across the United States. They are regular visitors to the United States, performing sell out shows from coast to coast. However, their fan base stretches across several continents, including Europe, Asia, and South America. Along the way, the band has earned a worldwide reputation for its spirited performances, extraordinary musicianship, and deep connection to the rich traditions of Irish music. They were the first Irish band to play the world’s biggest music festival, Rock in Rio, performing to an estimated 250,000 people. Over the years, they’ve been on the same bill as artists such as James Brown, Neil Young, Sting and even Iron Maiden!
