Denver — The O'Brien Family Band returns to Swallow Hill on Friday,
November 23 at 8 p.m. with their special blend of Western, bluegrass, old-time
country and original music. For years Swallow Hill audiences have watched the
O'Brien kids, Kyle, 17, Maura 14, grow up musically and otherwise. Both have
been named Western Music Association International Youth Yodeling champions, and
their hot picking has also won them numerous awards across the U.S. on fiddle,
mandolin, singing, and guitar.
The O'Brien Family Band will be joined by Timothy P. Irvin and Friends,
which brings long-time Colorado music legend Timothy P. Irvin to the Swallow
Hill stage for a rare acoustic appearance. Well-known for years as the front
man for Timothy P. and Rural Route Three, Tim Irvin also performs as lead
singer for the world famous nostalgic 50s/60s rock-and-roll band, Flash
Cadillac, featured in the classic films, "American Graffiti" and "Apocalypse
Now," as well as episodes of TV's "Happy Days."
