Samhein (pronounced Sow-wehn) is the ancient Gaelic name for a time between times, a time at the end of Harvest when the veil between the world of men and the other-world of spirits becomes thin and those sprits walk the earth. From ancient times until today, we have celebrated this mysterious and beautiful time of year. We call it Halloween or All Hallows Eve.

Join Award-Winning singer/songwriter Barry Cloyd for an after-hours performance as we step back into ancient Celtic times to revisit and bring to life the tales and songs of this haunting October celebration. It's a Spooky good time.

This event is free and open to all. No registration is required.

Doors will open at 6:00 p.m. and the performance will begin at 6:30 p.m.

For additional information, please contact Samantha at samanthah@dkpl.org or at (815) 756-9568 ext. 1701.

Hailed by the media as “The Quintessential Paul McCartney,” Kishman has wowed audiences worldwide with his uncanny look and sound, backed by a world-class band. With state-of-the-art sound and lighting, the show delivers note-perfect performances of Beatles classics and McCartney hits including Hey Jude, Jet, Penny Lane, Live and Let Die, Yesterday, Let It Be, Maybe I’m Amazed, and more.
