Just in time for St. Patrick's Day, the Hillman Performing Arts Series at Shady Side Academy presents the Celtic band Blackwater on Saturday, March 14, at 7:30 p.m.

The show takes place in the Peter J. Kountz Black Box Theater of the Hillman Center for Performing Arts, located on the SSA Senior School campus, 423 Fox Chapel Road, Pittsburgh, PA 15238. Tickets are only $20 and can be purchased online or by calling the Hillman Center Box Office at 412-968-3040.

For more than 20 years, Blackwater has been performing its high-energy brand of Celtic music to audiences across North America from sessions and pubs to concert halls and festival stages. Formed in 1996, the group has released several albums, appeared on multiple compilations and brought an inspired love of shared musical heritage to an ever-growing fan base. The band's members have a rich tradition in Celtic, folk, classical and contemporary music, and they successfully merge those influences into a unique and dynamic sound. Striking vocal harmonies, intricate fiddle styles, multi-instrumental talent and a penchant for compelling rhythms lend the group its unmistakable take on the traditional. Original compositions, innovative arrangements and an all-embracing passion for fun freshen the mix for a show that has been described as "Sheer Ceili Aerobics!"
