Pat Garvey has been playing Irish folk music in the Washington D.C. area since 1978.  A native of Hungry Hill (“Home of the Irish”) in Springfield, Massachusetts, he moved to D.C. to join a folk group called “The Gaels”.  Pat began a solo career in 1984 appearing in clubs and festivals throughout the U.S. when in 1994 he signed on with “Brendan’s Voyage”, a duo with keyboard artist Fergus Kennedy.  After a stint as the owner of Mrs. O’Leary’s Irish Pub in Gaithersburg, Maryland, Pat Garvey is back as a full time performer and you can catch him here at The Auld Shebeen most months on a Friday & Saturday evening.
