Live old-time and folk music from Clawhammer Mike and the Old-Time Barn Stormers at the craft brewery Padraigs Brewing.
Clawhammer Mike and the Old-Time Barn Stormers play Padraigs Brewing on Saturday, October 23, from 7 to 9:30 PM. The name gives you the gist of what they do: clawhammer is a rhythmic, down-picking style of banjo playing that sits at the heart of old-time music, and the Barn Stormers bring the full ensemble around it. It's the kind of music that feels right at home in a taproom.
Padraigs is a craft brewery in Northeast Minneapolis, housed inside the historic Broadway Building. They brew Irish-influenced beers and bring in food from local vendors, and the taproom is a regular live-music spot. They book folk and acoustic acts alongside traditional Irish jam sessions and trivia nights, so a night of old-time banjo fits right into the rotation. If you're not familiar with the style, it's rooted in the traditional music of the Appalachian region, and it's built for a room like this—something you can listen to closely or just let run in the background while you have a drink.
