Blackthorn
Blackthorn, members of the Michigan Irish American Hall of Fame, played at The Ark in Ann Arbor on Saturday, December 20, 2025, at 8 p.m. They delivered a musical journey through Ireland with traditional and contemporary Irish songs, multi-instrumental performances, and rich four-part harmonies.
The band features Belfast native Richard McMullan on lead vocals, backed by a mix of flute, accordion, tin whistle, fiddle, banjo, cittern, and bodhran. Celebrating 40 years of sharing Celtic music traditions in southeast Michigan and beyond, Blackthorn's show offered a deep dive into Ireland’s musical heritage. The concert took place at Ann Arbor’s The Ark, a beloved local venue for live music.
