For nearly a decade, singer-songwriter Keith Harkin toured the States with Celtic Thunder. Harkin, who now has a solo career and will release a new album, In the Round, on Dec. 8, embarked on a Christmas house concert tour last year.

He’s back on the living room circuit this year and will perform in Cleveland at a location to-be-announced on Dec. 4.

“I wanted to create a ‘Family of Fans’ with these shows,” says Harkin in a press release announcing the tour. “I wanted people coming to these concerts to have a personal one-on-one experience with me, sharing food, wine and really spend time together before and after the band plays — it’s really an amazing way for me to connect with my fans.”

Tickets to the fan appreciation house concert in Cleveland are still available; once buyers purchase tickets, they’ll learn of the exact location. Go to keithharkin.com for more information.
