Come share the craic (good times) as Saint Patrick's Day lingers on awhile this year, with three stellar musicians offering a veritable feast of topnotch Irish traditional music.

San Francisco native, Athena Tergis, has played fiddle nearly all her life. Winning the National Scottish Fiddling Championship in Virginia at age 11, she later turned her bow to the traditional music of Ireland. In collaborations with Laura Risk and Harry Bradley, in appearances with the Sharon Shannon band, and as the principal fiddler in Riverdance Broadway, Athena has distinguished herself as a musician of great scope, with influences ranging from Celtic traditional to jazz.

One of the most exciting guitarists in Irish traditional music today, Dublin native John Doyle made a name for himself with his striking propulsive style in both the innovative groups he helped found, The Chanting House and Solas.

Limerick-born Mick Moloney was a key figure in the Dublin folk-song revival in the 1960s. After relocating to Philadelphia, he became a leader in contemporary Irish-American music through his teaching, producing, recording, performances, and academic folklore activities. In 1999 he received the National Heritage Award from the National Endowment for the Arts.
