In 2019, the local group Story played a St. Patrick\u2019s Day concert to a full house at CommonGround Christian Community Center, located at 28 W. Main St. in Owego. The plan had been to make the concert an annual event \u2013 then COVID intervened. Three years later, Story will once again be offering a musical experience of the songs and tales of the Celts on March 20 at CommonGround.<\/p>\n
Story has been a part of the Owego music scene for several years, playing at local venues that include the Black Cat, the Farmhouse Brewery, and Farm to Fork events. The group\u2019s members, Gordie Gottlieb, Brian Schendel and Robert Henrich, are all seasoned musicians with extensive musical portfolios. Their use of instruments such as the Irish bouzouki, mandolin, banjo, octave mandolin, bohran and tin whistle will add a distinctive Gaelic flare to the offerings. For those so inclined, there will be plenty of opportunity to join in the singing.<\/p>\n
In keeping with the tradition started in 2019, baked goods with a Celtic flavor will be offered for a nominal donation. To stay on the safe side, all goodies will be \u201cto go\u201d only.<\/p>\n
