The Irish Cultural Center of the Mohawk Valley is pleased to announce the return of the highly-acclaimed Canadian trio, Arise & Go, at 3:00 PM Sunday, March 15, 2026 in the Event Center. Utica NY native and piper extraordinaire Michael Roddy will be traveling from his home in Nova Scotia to celebrate St Patrick’s Day festivities with bandmates Ellie Goud on fiddle and Tim Ball on guitar. 

Arise & Go is an award-winning Celtic trio that finds its roots in the dance music of Ireland, Scotland and Atlantic Canada. Blending pipes, whistles, fiddle and guitar, the group’s varied musical backgrounds combine to produce a sound which is both grounded in tradition and uniquely fresh and driving. From intimate house concerts to festival stages, Arise & Go has been hailed for their “precision and energy."

But Wait… There's More!

This year’s concert will be extra special. Arise & Go is proud to announce that this show will also serve as the album release party for their newest studio album, Moments of Light. The record features all-new arrangements of traditional Irish, Scottish, French Canadian and Atlantic Canadian tunes, alongside original compositions. The album also features appearances by guest artists Nicholas Williams (Genticorum), Cara Wildman (The Consequences), and Joey Arcuri (Driftwood). Moments of Light highlights the evolution of Arise & Go's unique blend of folk styles, and is their most distinctive recording to date.
