The Irish Cultural Center of the Mohawk Valley is pleased to announce the return of Rory Makem, 7PM Friday March 20, 2026 in the ICCMV Event Center. Rory first graced the ICC stage to a near sell-out crowd shortly after its opening in September 2019. He was scheduled to return in March 2020 only to be thwarted by a world wide pandemic. We’ve been anxiously waiting for his return ever since.
A seasoned performer with over 37 years on the road, Rory has toured extensively with The Makem Brothers, and the Makem and Spain Brothers and for 17 years played guitar with his father, Tommy Makem. He has played sold-out venues, festivals, and theaters throughout the United States, Canada, England, Scotland and Ireland.
The love of song runs deep in the family. Continuing a legacy handed down from his Grandmother, the legendary source singer Sarah Makem, Rory pulls the songs of the worker, the sailor, the lovers, the fighters and the land from the pages of history and breathes life into them. An adept interpreter of folk songs, he
masterfully accompanies himself on guitar, banjo, mandolin or bouzouki.
