The Beehive Celebrates 6thAnnual St. Patrick’s Day Festivities

March 4, 2013 - PRLog -- WHAT:             Irish eyes will be smiling when The Beehive presents their 6th annual St. Patrick’s Day festivities on Sunday, March 17th, 2013 from 5:00PM – 1:00AM. St. Patrick’s Day at The Beehive means an evening of authentic entertainment including performances from Boston-based and lively Irish music performers, Irish inspired à la carte food & drink specials from Kilbeggan Irish Whiskey, Tyronnell Irish Whiskey and Connemara Irish Whiskey, and an evening like only The Beehive can create.

The claim from inside the ‘hive’ is that while there will be plenty of surprises, this will not be your typical Irish fest. “No green beer…but what we are planning is a sophisticated evening of amazing Irish comfort food and authentic, world-class, Irish entertainment for a mature audience,” said Co-Owner, Jack Bardy.

MUSIC:            This year at the ‘hive,’ a “special guest” performance will kick of the night of Irish filled festivities at 5:30PM. Husband-wife duo Matt & Shannon Heaton will then bring their shared musical experience and love for Boston’s Irish music scene to the stage at 8:00PM. Boston-based, Matt has made his musical home in Boston’s Irish scene while Shannon has co-founded Boston’s Celtic Music Fest and teaches for Boston’s Comhaltas. Their modern take on traditional centuries-old Irish songs, which features Irish flute- and guitar-driven tunes and traditional Irish-style singing, will bring out emotion and Irish pride from the Irish and non-Irish alike. Matt and Shannon’s entertaining and organic onstage banter is almost good as the music (almost)!

Can’t make it to the festivities on the 17th? Don’t worry! Guests can experience the rustic, yet contemporary sounds of Matt & Shannon Heaton the day before, on Saturday, March 16th, 2013.

Dinner reservations are recommended, no cover charge, both the upstairs and downstairs bars will be open for service.
