“The Leprecons,” a West Michigan Irish musical group featuring JD Gonzales of Wayland, will make debut in the Motor City Irish Festival Saturday, June 10, in Detroit.

The public relations announcent said, “The Leprecons, are a fierce Irish band from Grand Rapids with a passion for singing and enjoying a nice frothy pint, are continuing to make appearances in and across Michigan. Their innovative and individual style of entertainment has grown to be a favorite among those that love the craic, laughter and good times.

“There are few like the Leprecons. A band committed to playing and promoting Irish pub songs that set your toes a-tapping and your pint glasses a-swaying! Even if you’re one of those who say you don’t know or don’t love Irish music and fun (like we do), you’re certainly encouraged to sing along. Whether you know the words or not.”

Founded in 2016, the group has performed at a variety of venues, parties and festivals such as Holland Celtic, Irish on Ionia, Sparta Celtic, Saline Celtic, Wayland Balloon Fest and the Lowell Harvest Festival. They’ve also entertained at many a pub and party in Grand Rapids, Caledonia, Wayland, Lansing and Muskegon.

“The Leprecons continue to expand their presence with their unabashed pub-crawl sound and will continue to do so if there be a pub filled with lads, lasses and glasses.”
