Smiley LIVE! Presents: CRAiC HAUS Friday, March 29, 4:30 PM The Contemporary Club Irish American History Month is more than just St. Patty’s Day! Smiley Library is keeping the celebration going on March 29 when CRAiC HAUS joins us for a free concert.
CRAiC HAUS (pronounced crack house) translated from Irish and German, means FUNHOUSE. Formed in 2005, CRAiC HAUS consist of Danny Oberbeck (from the original LOST CAUSE) on drums, mandolin, penny whistle and lead vocals, Dylan Blue (Danny’s son) on guitar, mandolin and backing vocals and Dylan’s high school friend Julian Johnson (from Jonny Come Lately) on King Double bass and accordion.
As the only PIONEERS of SHAMROCKABILLY, CRAiC HAUS hails from Claremont California, but brings a heavy dose of the Emerald Isle to their aggressive rockabilly sound. With the occasional penny whistle , mandolin or harmonica thrown into the mix, their original tunes have captured the ears and beers of fans all over the world.
This high energy, tight trio has raised roofs and brought great cheer to pubs and clubs all over so-cal and beyond. CRAiC HAUS also performs as an acoustic traditional Irish band. A unique mix of Irish, Hillbilly and Swing. When on the road, CRAiC HAUS traditional will often be the opening act, for the SHAMROCKABILLY SHOW, providing a FULL FORCE CRAiC ATTACK.
This free public event is part of the Smiley LIVE! concert series. It’s family-friendly, with a Q&A segment where young and old alike can ask the performers questions about their music, their performance, and anything else they may be curious about.
