Formed in 2009, the Irish group Socks in the Frying Pan has become an international sensation. The group pairs traditional melodies with three-part vocal harmonies. On last year’s The Return of the Giant Sock Monsters from Outer Space, they play a little bit of everything, throwing polka and bluegrass into the mix. This tour is part of Culture Ireland’s Centenary Programme, which commemorates the centenary of the 1916 Easter Rising. (Niesel)
