It is the second Thursday of the month which means – we are proud to host another traditional Irish Seisiun with lead musicians Nathan Bishop and Judy Minot. What is an Irish Seisiun?

Unlike a performance, the musicians at a seisiun are playing for enjoyment – as much for each other as for anyone who may come to listen. There may be a core group of players, and others who drop in now and then. In fact, we never know who will show up, or what instruments they may play. All completely acoustic and unamplified bringing the barn naturally to life!

Usually one person will start a tune, and those who know it join in. We play it until we feel like stopping, or we switch tunes. The origin and spirit of this music is in playing for dancers, and if Irish dancers drop by to this seisiun, they will be welcome too! Feel free to make requests if you know an Irish tune.

To this group of musicians, virtuosity is less valued than the collective effort.

At Flounder Brewing we love to bring amazing musicians and unique musical experiences to the Barn, but we do want to remain cover charge free. On the bar during live music we will have a Voluntary Cover Charge jar, please toss in a few bucks to help pay the amazing musicians coming in, all money in these jars will go straight to the musicians and help keep Flounder Brewing cover free.
