Sound and Fury
St. Patty’s Day may be more than a few months away, but you can still get your fix of the sounds of the Emerald Isle on Sept. 25 at the Tower Theater. The touring troupe for Celtic Thunder features five male soloists singing a variety of classic Irish and Scottish folk songs, plus original content, all backed by the Celtic Concert Orchestra under the leadership of internationally acclaimed musical director Phil Coulter. Befitting its name, Celtic Thunder has a real flair for the dramatic, so expect flashy theatrics, dynamic lighting and stunning set work. 6 p.m. $45-$75. 69th and Ludlow streets, Upper Darby. Call (610) 352-2887 or visit livenation.com.

Starting at noon, the amphitheater at Reeves Park will host an impressive lineup of local musicians, including Paul Michael & the Blues Recruits, Riley Road, Sister Blue and Georgie Bonds.
