You'll experience first hand why the Firestarters have been the talk of Irish Festivals across the land.
July 22nd - Behringer-Crawford Museum. Summer Concert Series, Covington, KY
Roger Drawdy and the Firestarters return for a night at the museum... Irish style. The review from the Firestarters show there in 2009 said, ‘The Firestarters set the stage on fire with their mix of traditional and original material. The crowd awarded the band with a rare standing ovation, everyone wanted more!’ Make certain not to miss this invigorating night of music and dance. It's a beautiful venue for a live outdoor show.
July 31st – MilusStock, Whitestown, IN
MilusStock will again come alive with music, food, and friendship. The music will be hot including the intensity of Roger Drawdy and the Firestarters. Plan to have a great evening and bring your tent, because the action doesn’t stop throughout the night.

The Dublin Irish Festival is simply one of the greatest annual events of it genre in the world! Every year this festival gets some of the finest Irish global entertainment and 2010 is certainly no exception.
