Live Music Weekend Roundup March 11 to March 13

By Julie Horner

Turning toward all things Celtic this close to St. Patrick’s Day, look for shamrocks and shenanigans and “mighty craic” in the Santa Cruz Mountains and around the county. Here’s the roundup of live music for the weekend of March 11, 2022.

Craic (pronounced, “crack”) in Irish means lively company, good fun. Used in a sentence: “She loves the craic and the late nights!”
