About this Event

LACA to host Ben Traverse & the Little River Ceilidh Band for St. Patrick’s Day eve performance

Start St. Patrick’s Day off early with a family friendly Sunday afternoon, March 16 performance by Ben Traverse & the Little River Ceilidh Band at the Ludington Area Center for the Arts (LACA).

Folksinger, balladeer, educator, songwriter, and Earthwork Music Collective member Ben Traverse commands a wide array of instruments in his mission to bring the finest traditional folk music into the 21st century. With deep roots in the Great Lakes State, Traverse travels Michigan and beyond telling stories and truths as old as the hills.

Drawing from the rich history of American, Celtic, English, and maritime traditions, Traverse brings its unapologetic rawness and honesty into the present day. Whether performing solo, collaborating with other musicians, or working in an educational setting, audiences are left with not only a deeper understanding, but also appreciation for this historical art and the context under which it blossomed.

Tickets to the Sunday, March 16 performance are $15 in advance and $20 at the door. Tickets can be purchased at LACA during normal business hours or online at www.ludingtonartscenter.org.

All tickets purchased at LACA include a coupon for $2 off your first pint at Jamesport Brewing Co. and Ludington Bay Brewing. This special offer is good for 30 days from concert date on front of ticket.

Traverse has released three albums: a solo collection of old-time American ballads in the spirit of Pete Seeger and early Folkways Recordings, a rousing album of sea shanties and maritime music with Michael Dause, and another with Nick Veine celebrating music from the Irish diaspora.
