Lafayette: Hogeye Navvy

One of the greats, Hogeye Navvy stops by Nine Irish Brothers in Lafayette on Saturday, August 1 at 8 PM, for an evening of toe-tapping traditional Irish music. This vastly talented veteran band features a wide array of songs, from ballads to sea shanties, from jigs & reels to sing alongs. While this band already has quite a loyal following, I'm sure they wouldn't mind a few more "hog heads" to add to the group!
