BCMFest@ICONS preview this Monday


You want a little taste of what you'll see at ICONS next weekend? (Wow, not that far away, is it?)
Then check out the Sept. 8 edition of the Boston Celtic Music Fest's "Celtic Music Monday," the monthly series BCMFest cosponsors with Club Passim in Harvard Square. (BCMFest, in case you're not familiar with it, is Greater Boston's grassroots, community-oriented annual festival that showcases the Boston area's great resources in Irish, Scottish, Cape Breton and other Celtic and Celtic-influenced music.)

Appearing at "Celtic Music Monday" will be The New Tyme Sisters (in photo at left) -- serving up Appalachian/old-timey music in a whole new way -- who'll be part of the BCMFest Showcase at ICONS (along with Annalivia and Laura Cortese). And you can also get a first look at the BCMFest Bard Squad, a group of area musicians, singers and dancers who will be leading a session at the ICONS' Burren tent the festival's opening night and popping up throughout the weekend at various places.
Admission is only $12, $6 if you're a member of Club Passim, WGBH or WUMB. You can reserve tickets online or call 617-492-7679.
