THE MUSIC OF JIMMY DEVINE

Rhode Island musician, preservation carpenter, and inspiration to countless fiddle students, Jimmy Devine sadly passed on June 7, 2021. Jimmy was born in New York to Irish parents, and was one of the true lynchpins of the Irish scene in Providence – playing for dances, sessions, house parties, with his band, The Erinoids, and teaching. Our 2nd celebration of THE MUSIC OF JIMMY DEVINE will feature his good friends Mark Roberts, Teddi Scobi, Patrick Hutchinson, Mance Grady, Benedict Gagliardi, Armand Aromin, Sarah Blair, Bob Drouin, Alan Bradbury, and Jimmy’s daughter Hannah Devine playing music that Jimmy composed as well as some of the tunes he loved to play. They will be joined by step dancers Kevin and Maureen Doyle.
