Celtic Highland Games presents Switchback, June 15!
Friday June 15, 2007 from 8:00pm - 11:00pm
The Lodge Hotel and Conference Ctr
900 Spruce Hills Drive
Bettendorf, Iowa 52722 Get Directions
Friday, June 15: Celtic Highland Games presenting "Switchback," a Chicago-based duo known for their exhilarating blend of Celtic traditional music, bluegrass, American folk and country. In 21 years and 10 albums, Marty McCormack and Brian FitzGerald have shared the stage with such musical luminaries as Leon Russell, The Moody Blues and Matt Malloy of the Chieftains. Two of their albums have been produced by Grammy nominated Lloyd Maines, of Dixie Chicks fame. Their hauntingly beautiful song "Falling Water River," honors the heroic sacrifice of an American soldier in Afghanistan. Showcasing a repertoire ranging from sentimental ballads to blistering rockers, the duo deliver a powerful sound rivaling that of larger ensembles. While their musical paths have taken them to a variety of genres, Martin and Brian have never abandoned their traditional Celtic roots.

Event is at The Lodge Hotel, 900 Spruce Hills Drive, Bettendorf in the Mozart Room. Advance tickets just $15; $20 at the door.
