Thank you!

"Sounds Good! You're getting a nice bounce in your music!" -- Eddie, Impresion Nortena

Tom and Mary Kay Aufrance - Slim and Minnie Folk Music - Gairin Celtic
Gairin Celtic Music

Slim and Minnie bring beautiful harmonies and homespun humor to the stage. This husband and wife duo perform an eclectic mix of acoustic music, from favorite Hollywood Cowboy and Americana songs and dancehall tunes to new popular music covers and originals by other famous singers like Ike and Tina, Linda Ronstadt and James Taylor, Johnny Cash and June Carter, the Beach Boys, the Eagles and more! It's why folks of all musical preferences and all ages find themselves joyfully transported into a timeless musical groove whenever Slim and Minnie perform!

Gáirín Celtic Music entertains a wide variety of audiences...

  • Music and Magic festival stage act for for family entertainment and Celtic heritage groups.
  • Irish Pub Night show for coffee shops, restaurants and pubs.

Whether it's recreating the fun of being in an Irish pub - leading familiar singalongs - or on the festival trail, Tom and Mary Kay enjoy bringing all facets of Celtic music to all audiences. They may even get you into the act! The focus is on favorites from Ireland, Scotland and Wales, audience interaction, magic and charm. Lots of it! The name Gáirín comes from the Gaelic word for joy, which is Gaira. So, Gáirín would be just a wee bit o' laughter, like a chuckle! And like the name, our show promotes the joy of Celtic music and magic!

Our Celtic Cowboy Connection

Here's an interesting Celtic Cowboy connection: speaking of chuckles. The Nevada Desert Quail is a familiar sight as it clucks and chuckes its way around Nevada. Here's the Celtic connection. That funny little bird was first catalogued and named by a real old time Celtic cowboy whose roots included Scots-Irish and Welsh American. He was the adventurer and naturalist William Gambel, who was came Out West with other early explorers in 1842.
