Open the Door for Three

Blackstone River Theatre

Blackstone River Theatre is thrilled to present the return of the dynamic trio Open the Door for Three as we celebrate St. Patrick’s Day! Open the Door for Three is fiddle player Liz Knowles, uilleann piper Kieran O’Hare, and Dublin-born singer and bouzouki player Pat Broaders. Their music is a rare combination of unearthed tunes from centuries-old collections, newly composed melodies, fresh arrangements of songs old and new, homages to the musicians hey grew up listening to, and the unmatched energy of a trio of good friends playing great Irish music together. Liz, Kieran, and Pat have been mainstays of the Irish music scene around the world, having distinguished themselves over the last two decades as soloists with Riverdance, Cherish the Ladies, String Sisters, Anúna, and more. Knowles’ auspicious beginnings as the fiddler for Riverdance and as soloist on the soundtrack for the film “Michael Collins” established her as a virtuosic and versatile performer. As a trio, they have played to a wide range of audiences from Irish festivals, to concert halls, to pubs. They have performed at Carnegie Hall, at L’Olympia and the Palais des Congrès in Paris, and in theatres from Shanghai to São Paulo. Most recently, they have been featured at The Kennedy Center’s Ireland 100 festival, the Celtic Colours festival in Cape Breton, at The Milwaukee Irish Festival, and in The Masters of Tradition series in Bantry, County Cork, Ireland.
