The Irish Descendants: Our Tribute to Stan Rogers

From the rugged shores of Newfoundland often called the Far East of the Western World originates one of Canada’s most celebrated folk groups, The Irish Descendants. For over 35 years, this multi-award-winning ensemble has captivated audiences across North America and beyond, performing more than 8,000 live shows and earning a reputation for musical excellence and cultural storytelling. Led by the unmistakable voice of Con O’Brien, the band blends masterful musicianship with rich vocals, weaving tales of their Irish heritage and the soul of Newfoundland and Labrador into every performance. Their shows are more than concerts they’re journeys filled with laughter, history, and unforgettable moments that leave audiences deeply connected to the spirit of the East Coast. Whether on a grand festival stage or in an intimate theatre, The Irish Descendants continue to share their legacy with passion, pride, and a touch of wit that’s as timeless as the music they play. Joining Con at the helm are the extraordinary talents of Rowen Sherlock, Madeline Carter, and Jeff Kinsman, each bringing their own musical brilliance to the stage. Together, they bring a dynamic energy and artistry that elevate every performance. Brought in part by 104.9 MyFM
