The Celtic Music Jam was first brought to fruition 12 years ago to memorialize my Irish grandmother. She was a significant guiding light in my life and nurtured a deep love for music in our family as well as her community. Grandma Peggy was an organist, a singer, and a very well-rounded musician. I started the Celtic Music Jam to honor my grandmother after her passing, and she lives on in the music we share and the grand times we experience!
