🎙️ MEET YOUR HOST & DUO: Brendan Sanchez & Aaron Fasting! ☘️
We are thrilled to introduce the duo bringing some serious musical talent to our Upstairs Ballroom—and the man who will be guiding us through the day as our official Emcee!
🎤 Our Emcee: Brendan Sanchez
Brendan grew up in a musical family. In his youth, with the Milwaukee Irish Youth Choir, he was privileged to share the stage with several prominent acts in the Irish Music scene including Eileen Ivers, Gaelic Storm, We Banjo 3, the Red Hot Chili Pipers, The Elders and Derek Warfield and the Young Wolfe Tones. He went on to win a Wexford Regional Fleadh Title, as well as a Midwest Fleadh Title in Sean-nós dancing, as well as tour with the Dublin-based Band, Ispíní Na HÉireann. Now, he currently serves as a faculty member of the Irish Fest School of Music.
🥁 On the Beat: Aaron Fasting
A Milwaukee native and veteran of the stage, Aaron spent years touring with the Celtic Rock band The Sandcarvers and The Atomic Spins. From SXSW to our very own Summerfest and Milwaukee Irish Fest, Aaron has played venues and festivals all across the United States. While his primary instrument is the drum kit, he’s recently been bringing his rhythmic expertise to the bodhrán!
