Headlining the event will be The Browne Sisters and George Cavanaugh.

The Browne Sisters & George Cavanaugh have been performing at festivals and concert halls across the United States for over 20 years. Their silvery harmonies, beautiful arrangements, and entertaining personalities have made them one of the most popular Celtic music groups performing today. Their sets always include several rousing numbers and a few traditional and not so traditional ballads, and always a Gaelic song or two. They are known for making any song their own, while still keeping true to the original work.

Sisters Diane, Pamela, and Laura bring powerful lead vocals and haunting harmonies to every song, while Cousin George’s strong, unaffected vocals and original guitar style brings a rich and authentic sound to each piece.

Skelpin, one of the nations most exciting world beat bands, plays lyrical Irish music fused with the passions of Spain, rhythms of the Middle East and Latin America, with a good amount of American Romantic Soul.

Irish-born bandleader, Patric Petrie, is a sultry fiddle player and singer with exceptional rhythm, an uncanny sense of pitch, and a quirky sense of humor. Traditionally bred, classically trained, she naturally gravitates towards world music as a way to express her heritage, personality and creativity. She lights up the stage with her energy, infectious smile and fashion sense.

The Ploughboys have been playing, singing, telling tales, engaging in feats of strength, animal husbandry, and defying the laws of gravity for over a decade now. They have been featured artists at the Costa Mesa Scottish Games, Irish Fest, the official Notre Dame/USC pregame party; the City of Tarzana annual Civic Pride event, and events throughout the West.

Their debut album, simply entitled “The Ploughboys”, contains a mix of standards, freshly realized classics, and innovative originals that you just won’t hear anywhere else.

Whether performing in the Celtic tradition, favorites from the British Isles, or their own, wickedly clever compositions, the Ploughboys are sure to provide a rollicking, hand-clapping, foot-stomping good time!

The Los Angeles Police Emerald Society (LAPES) Pipes and Drums Band consists of active, former, or retired law enforcement officers from law enforcement agencies throughout the Southern California area. Individuals with no prior law enforcement background are also a vital part of the Band; the only condition is that they have a sincere desire to support the law enforcement community.

The Band respectfully plays at services, memorials, and tributes for police officers, firefighters, and military personnel who have made the ultimate sacrifice. We also support and serve the community by playing at fairs, parades, school events, weddings, and Highland Games.
