Famed Irish singer, songwriter, and social activist Tommy Sands will be performing in a benefit concert for Hudson River Sloop Clearwater. From the pioneering days with the highly influential Sands Family, bringing Irish Music from New York’s Carnegie Hall to Moscow’s Olympic Stadium, he has developed into one of the most powerful songwriters and enchanting solo performers in Ireland today.

Beloved local folk band, Betty and the Baby Boomers will open for Tommy Sands. The Boomers are known for distinctive four-part harmonies and guitar and dobro from the Hudson Valley to the mountains of Connemara in Ireland.
