NORWICH — The Ryan Clan will be celebrating Halfway to St. Patrick's Day on Saturday, September 14 with a performance from 4 to 7 p.m. at Hidden Springs Brewhouse, located at 170 County Road 31 in Norwich.

Band members Frank Revoir, Tom Ryan, Bill Scranton, Pat Ryan, and Dan Ryan will bring Irish tunes and a few pop hits to the brewhouse in honor of the holiday. Fans of Irish music won't want to miss this performance, as the band only performs two months of the year.

"We only perform only at two times during the year: in the month of March around St. Patrick’s Day, and then in September we play Halfway to St. Patty’s Day gigs," said Ryan Clan Lead Singer Frank Revoir.

The Ryan Clan first formed in the 1970s with Norwich natives and musicians Mike Carnrike and Dan Collins, with occasional add-in Patrick Ryan. Revoir said he joined the band during his high school years, and over time the group went through several names and had a variety of members.

"We called ourselves lots of different band names. We were the Wild Colonial Boys at one point, we were the Sons of Ireland," Revoir explained. "Then eventually Mike Carnrike and Dan Collins, and then Mike Carnrike’s daughter Patty Carnrike, they formed their own band and they still perform and they play, and myself and my cousins, we formed the band and decided to call ourselves the Ryan Clan."
