The 2026-27 Arts at First Presbyterian concert series will open with a concert by the Kerry Kenny Band on Sunday, Oct. 4 at 4 p.m. The group is a world‑touring ensemble led by Kerry Kenny, a singer, songwriter, and guitarist known for blending Celtic‑rooted folk storytelling with contemporary pop and rock influences.

Raised in her family’s Irish pub in Archbald and inspired by global travels, Kenny plays music that often explores themes of love, loss, redemption, and resilience, delivered with a powerful, emotive voice described as “filled with honey & smoke.”

The concert is open to the public free of charge, with a free-will offering taken to help defray the cost of the event. Meet the artists at a reception held following the concert.

The church is located at 300 School Street in Clarks Summit.
