IT'S GREEN SEASON The St. Patrick's Day season in Milwaukee is upon us and we'll be spreading the green cheer all over town. The downtown St. Patrick's Day Parade is Saturday, March 13, and we'll be firing up the fiddles downtown at Trinity Three Irish Pubs, 125 East Juneau Ave., from noon to 3:00! Then for the official Paddy's Day festivities on Wed. March 17, we'll be back at Trinity from 4 to 7 pm for all your footstomping Irish music needs, and then we pack up our instruments and make our way through the assembled masses to Paddy's Pub on Milwaukee's East Side from 9 till midnight!

ABOUT ATLANTIC WAVE

Atlantic Wave is a Milwaukee Irish band that plays not only Irish music, but also Scottish music, Cape Breton music, and other styles of traditional Celtic music, known as "trad". Founded in 2004, the band grew out of the sessions and pubs of southeast Wisconsin, a fertile breeding ground for music in the same place that hosts Milwaukee Irish Fest, the world's largest Irish music festival. The band maintains close ties with Cape Breton, Nova Scotia, a place renowned for its unique musical style and its talented musicians. Over the years, Atlantic Wave has developed their own style, built around the harmonizing fiddles, a spirited Cape Breton rhythmic style, and of course, Barry's singing. One of the most common comments the band gets is, "You guys look like you're having so much fun when you perform." Well, we are!
