Shanty-rockers Callehan, with able support from Ryan Roberts, return to The Carleton on Thursday, March 7th!  Come and enjoy a great evening of folk / americana tunes with these fine dudes.  NO COVER!  Instead, this event will be raising money for the Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation.  Great music and great food – all while helping kids with type 1 diabetes.  Hope to see you soon.

Callehan is a four piece Folk/Americana performing and recording group from Nova Scotia.

To share a moment and to have fun in the simplest of forms enjoying a beer, the company of many or a few, from bar and brewery to lake and campfire is the purest of human experiences.

Callehan is about the story: Maritime folklore, Irish blessings, philosophy of life, all gift wrapped in music. Grab a drink and pull up a spot at the campfire.
