Cleek and Sean delighted the audience when they performed last year, and we just had to invite them back.  This is Irish music at its best, lively jigs and reels, and some of the most gorgeous waltzes you'll ever hear!

 Sean McComiskey


As the son of the great Button Accordion player Billy McCormiskey, Sean has been surrounded by the sounds of Irish music, especially Irish accordion music, his entire life. Before picking up "the box," Sean tried various other instruments, including the piano and the fiddle, but none of which seemed to fit him. It wasn't until the summer of 1998 when he learned his first tune on the button accordion.  Since then he's been hooked.

Sean has performed at a variety of concerts and festivals - the Washington Irish Festival, the Kennedy Center Millennium stage, and the White House St. Patrick's Day Celebration. He’s already a star on the Irish music scene.

 

Cleek Schrey

Cleek studied with master fiddler Brendan Mulvihill as a young teen in the Washington D.C. area.  Equally well-known as an excellent fiddle player and piano accompanist, Cleek is also an avid collector of old recordings.  He performs frequently and is an instructor at the Blue Ridge School of Irish Music in Charlottesville.
