John Doyle: Master of the Guitar
2026-05-14 19:30 - 21:30 | Gaelic League, 2068 Michigan Avenue, Detroit, MI, 48216, United States
Master of Irish Song & Guitar – John Doyle
Gaelic League – Corktown, Detroit

May 14 • 7:00 PM $25 Online | $30 At The Door

A founding member of Solas, John Doyle’s signature rhythmic guitar style and commanding baritone voice have shaped countless landmark recordings in Irish music.
He has performed and recorded with artists including Liz Carroll, Eileen Ivers, Karan Casey, Mary Black, and toured as music director for Joan Baez.
In recent years, Doyle’s songwriting has focused on the Irish emigrant experience — powerful narrative songs rooted in migration, identity, and history. His acclaimed album Shadow and Light has been praised for songs “destined to be classics.”
This is a rare opportunity to experience one of Irish music’s most respected and influential artists in an intimate setting.
