A family of well-known Irish musicians will perform Celtic sacred and traditional Irish music in Oak Harbor next week.

The lilting sounds will be heard 3 p.m. to 5 p.m. Sunday, Oct. 4 at St. Stephen’s Episcopal Church, 555 Southeast Regatta Drive in Oak Harbor.

There is no admission charge, but people are asked to bring a non-perishable food item that will be donated to the food bank. Refreshments will be served.

The performers are singer-songwriters Owen and Moley O Súilleabháin and their mother, famed Irish singer Nóirin Ni Riain. The brothers began performing with their mother in 2004 in an a cappella trio that sang Gregorian chant, ancient Irish songs and hymns from many traditions.

Since then, the brothers have branched out as songwriters with a repertoire that ranges from chant and traditional songs to rock and rap. They have performed with The Chieftains, Bobby McFerrin and English poet David Whyte, who live in Langley.
