On Sept. 20 at the Kent Campus, Delhi 2 Dublin will whip the crowd into a folk frenzy with their Celtic-Asian meld, while singer/songwriters John Gorka and Tracy Grammer offer a more reflective show at the Kent Stage. Friday night is Folk Alley ‘Round Town with dozens of free performances throughout the city. It’s the one night each to really let your folk flag fly! Fan favorites Over the Rhine and openers Girlyman take over the Kent Stage for Friday’s mainstage performance.

On Saturday, The five-member group Delhi 2 Dublin will perform a free concert on Manchester Field on Thursday, Sept. 20, as part of this year's Á½ÐÔÉ«ÎçÒ¹ Folk Festival.
