A Big "Thank You" To Our Current Sponsor! Great Big Sea Sponsored by The McGuire Family Thursday, March 11, 2010 8:30 PM The Slowdown, 729 N 14th St, Omaha NE $28 -- Purchase tickets at www.theslowdown.com Great Big Sea is a Canadian Folk-rock band. (Celtic-Rock) from Newfoundland and Labrador, best known for performing energetic rock interpretations of traditional Newfoundland folk songs including sea shanties, which draw from the island’s 500-year old Irish, English, and French heritages. The band also performs original material. We first saw Great Big Sea perform at Milwaukee’s Irish fest in 1999. We have been big fans ever since. They have won many awards and have produced over 9 albums. They will perform for the Olympics in Vancouver in January 2010. They are ready to expand their base to the Midwest area, and we are proud to be able to sponsor them in Omaha, at the Slowdown for a concert. They are great friends with Gaelic Storm and the recommended that Great Big Sea talk to Mike McGuire. We hope the Omaha Community again will support this concert so we are able to continue bringing great Irish singers and Celtic Music to Omaha!
