One of Springfield’s most-loved singer-songwriters, Tom Irwin has been taking experiences, turning them into songs, and giving those songs life through performances and recordings for more than forty years. Tom’s most recent album is One for the Kiddos, and the audience will hear and join in on tunes from that kid-friendly album as well as other songs from Tom’s broad repertoire. What can be better than a concert with Tom Irwin?!

In this relaxed performance, audience members can stand up, walk around and dance, vocalize, and come and go as needed. During the performance a Quiet Room and an Active Room will be available to all audience members as needed.
