The band will perform many legendary numbers from their vast catalogue, including Celtic material from their Twice Told Tales album.

Performing will be bassist and co-founder Steven Gustafson; drummer Jerry Augustyniak; founding guitarist and singer John Lombardo; violi/viola player and singer Mary Ramsey, and lead guitarist Jeff Erickson.

This special Benefit Concert will raise funds to offset the costs of recording and distributing a new CD entitled W.B.Yeats Poems: Words and Music.

The CD is the result of a longtime artistic collaboration between Vincent O’Neill, Artistic Director of the Irish Classical Theatre Company, and Mary Ramsey, the storied lead singer of 10,000 Maniacs, along with their friend and internationally renowned Yeats expert, Joseph Hassett.

Tickets to the 10,000 Maniacs Benefit Concert are $50 each (General Admission) and $75 each (VIP - includes a pre-show Meet and Greet, preferred seating and a CD of W.B. Yeats Poems: Words and Music) and may be purchased in person at the ICTC Box Office, 625 Main Street, Buffalo; by phone at (716) 853-ICTC (4282) or online at irishclassical.com.
