McGonigel’s Mucky Duck probably doesn’t get near the attention it deserves, which is just fine for those of us who don’t like to share. Where else can you hear the best acts in Folk, Irish, & Americana music with a pint of Guinness or Murphy’s? Nowhere, that’s where. If you’ve never been to this venue, it’s not too late to add another New Year’s Resolution. Look for upcoming shows by Bruce & Kelly Robison, Bob Schneider, The Greencards, Mary Gauthier and Ruthie Foster.

Here’s a video from YouTube of Idgy Vaughn, Erin Condo, and Sofia Gray doing a great Vaughn tune “Mr. Wrong.”

If you’re into Irish, er, I mean Celtic music, it doesn’t get any better this side of the Atlantic than the Wednesday night Irish session. Here’s another video from a devoted fan.
