Dervish—From the Great Wall of China to a packed stadium in the Holy Land and more recently being the first Irish band to perform at the greatest music festival in the world, Rock in Rio, Dervish have come a long way in 10 years. Dervish was formed in 1989 by a group of five musicians, Liam Kelly, Shane Mitchell, Martin McGinley, Brian McDonagh and Michael Holmes, who came together to record an album of local music, which was released as "The Boys of Sligo." Inspired by the project, they developed the informal gathering into a working band under the name Dervish, chosen because it relates to any group of poor but spiritual people who become enraptured by music. 7:30 p.m., $15 member, $18 non-member, $10 student, $5 under 7.
