Culann's Hounds, San Francisco's acoustic Irish rampage, play their third St. Patrick's Day show at the Great American, bringing their Irish traditional music based songs and hoedown.  The Hounds have played the Bay Area for 8 years and have toured Europe and the States in support of their acclaimed album, Year of the Dog .  Steve Gardner, Renee de la Prade, Mike Kelleher, and Scott Marshall take Irish traditional music as a starting point for their music, but focus on creating songs and a stage show that is pure positive energy. 

Supporting The Hounds is Dublin-born SF resident, Eoin Harrington.  Born and raised in Dublin, Ireland and surrounded by music since the age of 4, Eoin Harrington has traveled the globe and now resides in San Francisco where his music is causing quite a stir. This award winning songwriter has grabbed the attention of numerous heavyweights in the bay area and across America. Grammy award winning producer Scott Mathews has labeled him as one of the best artists he's seen here in the bay area in the last 10 years, "classic music, this guy's gonna be around for a long time". KFOG'S Rosalie Howarth says, "Kids a star, plain and simple, I've been in this business 25 years and it's a real pleasure to listen to someone with pure, raw talent."
