Irish Hooley at Universal Preservation Hall with the Screaming Orphans

SARATOGA SPRINGS —Universal Preservation Hall presents Irish Hooley with the Screaming Orphans in Saratoga Springs at 7 p.m. on Saturday, March 12.

The Screaming Orphans, four Irish sisters from County Donegal, Ireland, have been singing since they were young; as teenagers, they decided to start their own pop rock band. With roots in traditional Irish music, the Orphans have evolved to draw on a more diverse set of influences, combining old-school pop songs and a modern take on traditional Irish music and song.

Their collection of 12 albums and an E.P. includes their latest CD, Taproom, which landed at number one in the iTunes World Music charts and was in the Top 10 on the Billboard World Music chart. They have recorded with Peter Gabriel, performed with Joni Mitchell on a Chieftains album, and backed Sinead O’Connor on tour.

Tickets for Irish Hooley with the Screaming Orphans are $25. For tickets and information, call the Box Office at Proctors 10 a.m.-2 p.m. Monday-Friday at 518-346-6204 or visit universalpreservationhall.org.
