Circle of Friends to Host James Keelaghan 3/28

Circle of Friends is hosting a show by James Keelaghan on Saturday, March 28 at 7:30 (doors open at 7). Tickets are $25.

Known for his rich baritone voice and masterful storytelling, James Keelaghan is one of Canada’s most respected folk singer-songwriters. With songs that blend traditional folk, roots revival, and Celtic influences, Keelaghan weaves history and humanity into every lyric.

From the haunting beauty of “Kiri’s Piano”—a reflection on the internment of Japanese Canadians—to the moving “Cold Missouri Waters”, inspired by the Mann Gulch fire, his music captures the power of real lives and moments in time.

Join us for an unforgettable evening as James Keelaghan brings his warmth, wit, and poetic songwriting to our stage. It’s folk music at its finest—deeply personal, yet universally resonant.
