Vernon Papers

"Vernon Papers"

U.S. born musician and songwriter Drew Shanefield brings his unique and eclectic catalog of music to the Backroom at the Cobblestone Pub. This collection of songs, curiously named Vernon Papers, encompasses much of Drew’s musical output from the last several years.

“I think VP started as a way to create an alternative persona, one that’s for me, void of history and expectation. Vernon Papers began as a collection of home recordings. As a result, much of the ego is gone, dismissing excuses and the need for perfection. The only need is to be genuine and search for musical truth.”

On stage, Drew’s Vernon Papers experience is largely a solo one. An acoustic, an electric and a notebook full of musings. The sound at times can be raw and from the depths, and at other times vulnerable and thoughtful. Always from the heart and the gut.

Inni-K Live at The Cobblestone

Inni-K (Eithne Ní Chatháin) is a singer, multi-instrumentalist, composer, and songwriter whose music draws from her extensive background in sean-nós and traditional Irish music, even as she ventures into new musical territories.
Known for her powerful live performances and singular creative vision, Inni-K continues to evolve with each release. Her fourth studio album ‘Still A Day’ — a fully original collection and her most creatively expansive work to date was released September 2025.
“Inni-K’s deeply meditative, often Cagean, record is dreamier and more wide-ranging than 2022’s sean-nós-inspired Iníon.“Still a Day is folk, certainly, but also ambient, jazz, art-song – a tactile, deeply sensitive album at the threshold of meaning and sound. Out of rupture, she's made something luminous; it is an album to unsettle, console, and finally, affirm” - The Line of Best Fit.
“One of Ireland’s most exciting artists” The Irish Times
“One of the most acclaimed voices in the extraordinary revival of traditional andfolk music we have witnessed in recent years.” RTÉ Radio 1, Arena
Her acclaimed 2022 album Iníon — a contemporary sean-nós album— was lauded by Folk Radio UK as “an album of tremendous understatement, power and beauty,” and described by The Irish Times as “a sparkling collection of songs that shimmer in the heat of Inni-K’s warm, unforced voice.” It was named a Top of the World release by Songlines Magazine and received two RTÉ Radio 1 Folk Award nominations: Best Folk Album and Best Traditional Folk Track for “Éamonn an Chnoic.”
Her earlier albums, The Hare & the Line (2019) and The King Has Two Horse’s Ears (2015), established her as one of the most distinctive voices in Irish songwriting — blending evocative lyrics, ethereal vocals, deft musicianship, and a unique approach to composition.
Inni-K has brought her spellbinding performances to audiences around the world, performing at venues such as Irish Arts Center (New York), Centre Culturel Irlandais (Paris), Symphony Hall (Birmingham), Cork Opera House, and the National Concert Hall (Dublin). She has also toured globally with Sadler’s Wells and Michael Keegan-Dolan’s acclaimed dance-theatre show Rian, and shared the stage with artists as varied as Toumani Diabaté, Efterklang, Lisa O’Neill, Hothouse Flowers, Sam Amidon, Martin Hayes, and Jeff Ballard.
In 2025, Inni-K served as Traditional Artist in Residence at University College Cork (UCC), reflecting her deep connection to Ireland’s living musical traditions.

Bí Liom Bí: Muireann Ní Shé, Becky Ní Éallaithe, Aisling Lyons

Bí Liom Bí is a performance of sean-nós song, traditional music and dance by three young women working at the forefront of Irish traditional practice. Drawing on an oral tradition that long predates the written word, the programme centres on songs and tunes passed down aurally through generations — melodies and verses that carry the stories and emotions of people in particular times and places.

The traditions of Cork, Connemara, and Clare are brought together by uilleann piper and singer Muireann Ní Shé, sean-nós dancer, singer and concertina player Becky Ní Éallaithe, and harper, concertina player and composer Aisling Lyons. Their approach treats this repertoire as living material: shaped by dialogue, collaboration, and their own experiences as young women engaging with inherited forms in a modern world.

About This Performance

Marisa will be touring her new album, called Volume 1. The record will be released May 2026 on Thrill Jockey as part of a larger multi-year release project connected to her ongoing work curation of what she calls the Anthology of UnAmerican Folk Music. This curated collection draws from nearly one thousand songs sourced from the private record collection of Harry Smith, where she is focusing on music from regions where the United States has engaged in conflict since 1970, including Southeast Asia, the former USSR, and the Arabic and Islamic world.  Very relevant at the moment! Marisa was awarded a residency through the Tulsa Artist Fellowship granting her access to an archive (of more than 1,200 records) from Smith’s personal collection, now owned by the University of Oklahoma and housed at the Bob Dylan Center in Tulsa. During the nine-day residency, Marisa focused on collecting recordings from countries connected to U.S. conflicts during her lifetime starting in 1970 - the year she was born. The record features deeply personal interpretations—composed, transcribed, and arranged—of music spanning from Afghanistan to Vietnam, via Yemen, Cambodia, Turkmenistan, and Pakistan. She will be performing this material live for the first time, alongside selections from her earlier catalog and new, unreleased work
