Live Irish music in Milwaukee

4 ways to get your fix

#1 Milwaukee Irish Fest
Mark your calendars for the weekend of August 18–21, 2016! Sure it's months away, but we can still dream of the good times. All or most of the acts for this year have already been announced, and the Irish Fest website also has a year-round calendar of events in the Milwaukee area. There's plenty to entertain Irish music lovers until August.

#2 Tosa Tonight
Every year around Irish Fest, Tosa Tonight brings in some seasonally-appropriate acts (like Scythian). Check in with Tosa Tonight and other live summer music schedules as things start to heat up in Milwaukee — odds are you'll find some Irish tunes in the mix.

#3 The Shamrock Club
The Shamrock Club has a list of all upcoming gigs by local Irish talent — who, when, and where in Milwaukee. While some bands play at arts centers, many of the performances take place at area pubs. 

#4 County Clare Friday sessions
Every Friday night at County Clare, a group of local Irish musicians get together and jam. It's the most wonderful experience, will only cost you a delicious beer or fish fry, and happens weekly.
