6-9 PM
Join us for a high-energy evening of traditional Irish music with Killarney Blarney at Madden’s Irish Pub in Elroy on Saturday, October 18th from 6–9pm.
Hailing from Madison, Wisconsin, Killarney Blarney blends traditional Irish ballads, rebel songs, drinking tunes, and lively jigs with a fresh, modern edge. Whether you're there to listen, sing along, or raise a pint, this is a night you won't want to miss.
Since their debut in 2012, Killarney Blarney has become a favorite at Midwest Irish pubs and festivals. They've earned multiple WAMI nominations in the Folk/Celtic category and released a studio album in March 2020.
The band features a classically trained opera singer and Irish language enthusiast on vocals and whistle, a classically trained fiddler whose dynamic playing brings old tunes to life, an award-winning bassist with a flair for musical storytelling, a drummer rooted in the Midwest jam scene, and a guitarist whose rhythm ties it all together. Their passion for Irish music, whether it’s rebel songs, love songs, pirate ballads, or jigs, shines through in every performance.

Paddygrass

This Paddygrass show will move you to sing, drink and forget all else. At Madden's Irish Pub in Elroy, WI Saturday, November 8 from 6-9pm, the band will seamlessly weave together kickass Irish, Celtic, bluegrass, and gospel music and shanties.

Lochanside
Saturday, December 13, 2025
6-9 PM
Spend your evening at Madden’s Irish Pub in Elroy with live Celtic music from Lochanside, performing from 6 to 9pm on December 13. This Madison-based folk band plays a mix of traditional Irish and Scottish tunes along with more recent Celtic music that’s full of energy and heart.
The name Lochanside comes from a Scottish term that means “beside the lochan,” referring to the peaceful, scenic areas next to small lakes in the Scottish countryside. It’s a word often found in poetry and music, including a well-known bagpipe tune of the same name known for its reflective and tranquil sound. Fittingly, Lochanside’s music captures that spirit, combining energetic tunes with more melodic, easygoing Scottish airs.
Featuring shuttle bagpipes, guitar, fiddle, tin whistle, and bodhrán, the band brings authentic Celtic instrumentation and heart to every performance. Whether you're here for the music, the pub fare, or a pint, it’s the perfect way to spend an evening in Elroy. Event is free for customers.
The West Fork Gals
Saturday, January 17, 2026
6-9 PM
Pull up a chair and have yourself a pint. On Saturday, January 17 from 6-9 PM, Madden’s Irish Pub in Elroy, WI is the place to be for a lively night of traditional music and good company. The West Fork Gals, a high-spirited, all-female string band, bring the rich traditions of old-time, bluegrass, and folk music to life.
From the hills of Appalachia to the misty roots of Irish and Scottish melodies, this music was carried across oceans by immigrants and shaped into something uniquely American. The West Fork Gals carry that tradition forward with rich harmonies, twin fiddles, banjo, guitar, upright bass, and a deep love for the music that connects generations.
Who are the West Fork Gals?
A high-energy, harmony-singing string band with deep roots and fresh spirit.
Liz Voz and Summer Deal – twin fiddles with twice the charm
Jane Keeley – clawhammer banjo that won’t quit
Kathy Casper – rhythm and soul on guitar
Terre Van Haren Roddy – holding down the groove on upright bass
Born out of a simple idea, “Let’s start an all-women string band!” The West Fork Gals began as a traditional group and quickly grew into a crowd-pleasing force. Blending old songs with heartfelt originals, they deliver it all with harmony, humor, and heart.
The West Fork Gals are keeping tradition music alive one tune at a time. Event is free for customers. So come early to grab a good seat.
