Kick off the St. Patrick's Day season with the IAHM community in a night of songs, celebrating the generosity and talents of Kevin McKrell.
About this Event

In 2025, Kevin McKrell’s artwork exhibition "Old Men in Hats" was one of the most exciting to grace the walls of the Irish American Heritage Museum in years. Earlier this year Kevin donated one of the most powerful works from that collection, An Ghórta Mhóir.

Kevin's generosity is only exceeded by his remarkable talents and love for the Irish American Heritage Museum. On March 6, 2026 at 7:00 PM, Kevin will help IAHM kick-off the 2026 St. Patrick's season with the greatest of grace and the finest of styles, with a concert in Albany's most intimate venue, IAHM's Flanagan Theater.

This First Friday Albany performance event is co-sponsored by Metroland Now.

KEVIN McKRELL

Kevin McKrell (guitar, vocals) is a masterful entertainer who has played festival stages, clubs and concert halls around the globe, including Carnegie Hall, Lincoln Center, Falconridge Folk Fest, and The Milwaukee Irish Festival to name but a few. Kevins original songs have become folk staples throughout the English speaking world, and his wicked sense of humor is nearly as legendary as his songs. As stated in the Daily Gazette: "Kevin McKrell entertained in wry blarney, sang Ould Sod sentiment in “Dublin Town” and “Home in Donegal” and, most impressively, crooned his original songs of John Prine-like insight and effortless musicality."


Special thanks to this event's sponsors, Metroland Now, Common Roots Brewing Company, ParkAlbany and the Flanagan Family. IAHM is especially grateful for the continued support from Metroland Now. IAHM also thanks all of the brilliant supporters of the arts and culture here in Albany, making Albany's First Friday Concert Series possible: Advance Albany County Alliance, Tulip City Creative, the Albany Convention Center Authority, and the CDTA.
