(WARETOWN, NJ) -- The sounds and spirit of Ireland will fill Albert Music Hall on Saturday, March 7, 2026, as the historic Pinelands venue presents its annual Irish Show, an evening of live music, dance, and community celebration inspired by the traditions of the Emerald Isle.
Doors open at 5:00pm and the event begins at 6:00pm with a lively performance by dancers from the D'Arcy School of Irish Dance. Five bands will follow throughout the evening, performing traditional Irish songs alongside folk and Celtic favorites.
This year’s lineup includes The O’talians, Tommy B & the Deep Blue Sea, The Coal Fired Ramblers, Andy Koontz, and Six Mile Cross, each bringing its own musical style while celebrating Irish musical traditions.
In addition to the main stage performances, the Hall’s adjacent Pickin’ Shed will host informal jam sessions, continuing a long-standing Albert Music Hall tradition. Musicians of all skill levels are invited to join in.
Admission is $6 for adults and $1 for children under 12 (cash only). Parking is free, and the venue is wheelchair accessible. Albert Music Hall is located at 131 Wells Mills Road (Rt. 532) in Waretown, New Jersey.
The Food Booth will offer Corned Beef & Swiss on Rye sandwiches (while supplies last), along with meatballs, kielbasa and sauerkraut, cheeseburgers, hot dogs, and a vegan chik’n patty option upon request. A variety of desserts will be available including baked goods from the Amish market.
Guests can also browse the Gift Shop, featuring Albert Music Hall merchandise, music-themed items, locally crafted Pinelands-inspired gifts, and a growing selection of regional music and history books. A 50/50 raffle will be held during the evening.
Albert Music Hall is operated by the Pinelands Cultural & Historical Preservation Society (PCS), an all-volunteer nonprofit 501(c)(3) organization dedicated to preserving the cultural heritage of the New Jersey Pinelands.
Since 1974, the “Sounds of the Jersey Pines” have echoed through Albert Music Hall in Waretown. Every Saturday night, the hall comes alive with Bluegrass, Country, Folk, Americana, Old-Time, and Pinelands music, honoring Joe and George Albert, whose 1950s jam sessions at their cabin, the “Home Place,” inspired the tradition. Today, hundreds of musicians continue that legacy, sharing the region’s vibrant musical heritage.
