Cape Cod songwriter Robert Emmet Dunlap has expanded his often recorded and popular song, Mick Ryan’s Lament, into a show that tells more of the story of his fictional Irishman’s journey from famine era Ireland to America in the mid 1880s. From ballads to lively Irish tunes, the program uses new, original songs along with traditional music from the period. It combines history and legend to show the connections between Irish and American songs and music and the impact of immigration, expansionism, and war on all sides.
