Mulvey is an iconoclast within the singer-songwriter world. He began his career on the streets of Dublin as a busker, and from there moved on to performing in the subways and streets of Boston.
It was here in Massachusetts that Mulvey received his first record deal and made the leap to full-time national and international touring.
Relentless and inventive, he has made seventeen records, spanning rock and roll, folk, jazz, spoken word and Americana. The shows at Passim reflect this diversity and offer a unique experience each night.
"THE LAMPLIGHTER SESSIONS" will take place October 27-31st at Club Passim.
Tickets are $25 ($23 for members) and are available at www.passim.org, by calling 617-492-7679 (9:30 AM - 5:00 PM, Monday - Friday) or visiting the Club Passim box office sixty minutes before the show begins.
