A visit from Tony DeMarco

"Why don't Italian's like Jehovah's witnesses?...we don't like any witnesses," joked Tony DeMarco to a laughing crowd at the Flynn Space. This was one of many jokes and stories Tony shared at his CD Release party this past Sunday night.

The famous New York Irish fiddler celebrated the release of his latest CD The Sligo Indians to a packed house on November 9th.
He shared the stage with Vermont's own Pete Sutherland, Cape Breton fiddler extraordinaire, Jerry Holland and other talented musicians. With his upbeat sligo-style fiddling he had just about everyone in the audience tapping their feet as he played famous session tunes such as the Mountain Road, Mason's Apron, Whiskey Before Breakfast and more.

This was Tony's 2nd time performing in the Flynn Space and we hope he comes back for more.
