press release: Hermitage Green will perform at the 42nd Milwaukee Irish Fest!
Hermitage Green is an acoustic folk rock group from Limerick, Ireland. Selling out iconic music venues and performing for thousands of people at some of the biggest festivals, this five piece band has had the chance to share the stage with incredible artists such as Lewis Capaldi, Paloma Faith, Bastille, Two Door Cinema Club, Tom Odell, Gavin James, Sigrid, The Riptide Movement, The Trews and others.
2023 will mark their third festival appearance. Many may also recall their unique performances at our special shows, such as when they covered The Cranberries at our 2019 Irish Rock show. We cannot wait to see them back in Milwaukee next August!
Their latest album Hi Generation is available to stream!
These are just a few of the HUNDREDS of musical and cultural activities taking place at the festival throughout the weekend.
