The Secret Commonwealth returns to put the “shenanigans” in the annual local Shamrocks and Shenanigans St. Patrick’s Day Party. The band, which over the decades has become synonymous with Middle Tennessee’s St. Patty’s Day scene and Celtic music in the region, will perform at Cedar Glade Brews on Friday, March 17, on its 30th anniversary.

The band started in 1993 with the intention of playing one St. Patrick’s Day gig at Middle Tennessee State University. The audience’s overwhelmingly positive response led to an enduring career playing pubs, clubs, private events, Renaissance fairs, and conventions in addition to Celtic, Americana and international music festivals.

While the band is influenced by The Pogues, The Chieftains and traditional Irish pub bands, its music fuses original material with traditional American and European folk styles. The creativity stems from the versatile members: Rob Campbell, Uncle Don Clark, Troy Guinn, Franko Hashiguchi, Vicky Plant and The Gnome.

Join TSC at Cedar Glades in your best green attire for traditional Irish fare and a sham-rockin’ good time. It should be an unforgettable night (unless you drink too much of Cedar Glades’ Ruari II Irish Red or Proper Dry Stout that they are releasing that evening).
