Fairgoers who made it to Chevy Court’s early show on Day 5 of the Great New York State Fair,<\/a> were treated to a high energy hour of Irish music by The Prodigals<\/a>, an Irish jig-punk band from NYC.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

At the front of the helm is Gregory Grene on accordion and lead vocals, Colin Forhan on guitar, Eamon Ellams on percussion\/drums, and Eric Kaye on bass, who was standing in for Sean Tierney their flutist\/dancer. This quartet came out hot, and just ramped it up for the full hour set playing a mix of their old and new music! Bringing audience members to their feet dancing and singing along, it didn’t take long to fill in the seats like a pied piper playing his magical notes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
