Jim Sharkey (and friends) in Concert

A singer songwriter living in Falmouth, Maine and originally from Roscommon
Ireland, Jim crafts songs of great beauty and poignancy. Rooted in the Irish traditional songs and Americana of those like Andy Irvine, Christie Moore, and David Mallett, his work is sensitive and personal but reflects the larger issues of life. In a spontaneous set at a summer concert last year, he captured our hearts. He has four albums of original works, the most recent being “Our Old Village" released in February 2024.

Along with Jim we have a special treat. Holly O’Donohoe will be joining in. Holly is a teenager whose parents are from Ireland. She’ll do a few songs on her own and join in with Jim as well.

Concerts start at 7:00 PM and grounds open at 6:00 PM. BYO food, drink and chairs. $15.00 - $20.00 suggested donation for the musicians. In addition, there are goats, chickens, gardens and walks to the river and falls. Parking is on the house side of Conant Street and at Ernie’s Cycle Shop. Also, Downtown Westbrook is a short (10 minute) walk away with parking and many fine restaurants for take-out. Children are always welcome!
