The "real deal" from Ireland: Balladeer Ken O'Malley at the Coffee Gallery

The “real deal” from Ireland, Ken O’Malley’s rich, resonant
voice and engaging stage presence have delighted audiences for over thirty
years. With his performance, Ken transports his audience to his beloved Ireland
through heartfelt singing and vivid storytelling. Find out why the Irish News
calls this consummate entertainer "without question . . .the single most
enduring, influential and proficient of all Irish musicians in Southern
California..."



Don't miss this magical afternoon of songs in both English
and Irish Gaelic, accompanied by Ken's remarkable talent on guitar and
mandolin.



 “He holds nothing
back. Whether singing a passionate ballad, playing a solo on the mandolin, or
explaining the gloriously sad history of Erin his homeland, Ken O’Malley is
all-in, wide open to the world, and as true as an arrow’s flight. .  .  .
His wonderful wit and good humor draw us in and carry us along, and the beauty
of his songs, both traditional and original, fills us with irresistible joy.”
