Irish Sessions

Please be advised that we plan to resume sessions at

The Rockslide Brewpub

 when conditions permit.

 

One of Fifth Reel's most enjoyable activities is acting as the core ensemble for Grand Junction's one and only Irish Session. We are thrilled to be hosted by Grand Junction's first brew pub, Rockslide Brewery at Fourth and Main streets in downtown Grand Junction. We meet from 6:00 p.m. to 8:00 p.m. on the first and third Wednesdays of the month. Come join us for great music, food and beer!

​

It is a tribute to the quality of our musicians that many travel from as far as Moab, Utah and New Castle, Colorado, just to have the opportunity to join friends in playing fine Celtic music.
