Mary Murphy and Paul Keim will entertain Feb. 12 in the latest Merville house concert.

It’s time once again for another in the Merville House Concert Series, this time a special treat for those who love all things Irish.

Combine a wee Irish lass with a honeyed crystalline voice, a dynamic multi-instrumentalist and good cheer. What do you get? A whopping great time.

Come let Mary Murphy’s Irish isle transport you across the Atlantic to a home of traditional, original and contemporary Irish songs.

Murphy not only sings lyrics, she transcends them. Her penned originals are steeped in tradition, and one would be hard-pressed to decipher the original songs from the traditional ones.

Born in Dublin, Ireland, having lived in the U.S., and now residing in Canada, Murphy has built her own musical bridge on which she invites all visitors to step across. It may be her gift of melody and lyric that is so attractive, or her rich and seemingly effortless vocal style, or perhaps her enticingly warm Irish nature — but whatever combinations move this woman, they attract and sustain fans from every age group and from every walk of life.

Murphy’s producer/guitarist, Paul Keim, brings vibrant accompaniment to her overall sound.

What could be a more perfect gift for your valentine than sharing a warm, friendly and intimate evening with great company and great entertainment at a house concert?

Especially since the ticket price includes hot drinks and a dessert buffet. The concert is at 7 p.m. on Saturday, Feb. 12.

Tickets are $20, $10 for children, all proceeds going to the performer. They can be reserved by calling 250-337-5337.
