Since 1984, Blackthorn has been a staple in the Great Lakes music scene, and their show at The Ark highlighted their range—wooden flute, accordion, tin whistle, banjo, cittern, bones, and more. Led by Belfast-native Richard McMullan's vocals and tight harmonies, the band brings Irish ballads and lively tunes alive. Tickets were priced at $20 for this event.
