Mixing traditional Irish dance tunes and hip-hop beats from the 1990s, this fun and unusual family gig promises “serious toe-tap-ability.” Don’t miss this truly unique 8-piece music collective.
Featuring the talents of top-notch Irish musicians alongside a DJ, Indian instruments, and a drum kit, JIGGY have developed a sound unlike anything else.
