Men of Worth perform from their Holiday album, “A Winters Carol”, as well as their 10 other albums to get you into holiday spirit.

Hear Celtic classics performed by these master musicians at 2 p.m. Sunday at the Auburn Avenue Theater.

Together Men of Worth blend their voices with harmony and support their collection of songs with their varied selection of instruments. They have a very simple approach to their presentation, and in keeping with tradition, remain true to the music and stories of their songs. Their show is a unique combination of humor, exciting tunes, and soulful, heartfelt ballads.

Scotsman Donnie Macdonald and Irishman James Keigher formed Men of Worth in 1986. They perform both Irish and Scottish folk music, combining traditional and contemporary styles. The name “Men of Worth” was chosen from the title of a fold song written by the Scottish singer/songwriter Archie Fisher.
