Darke County Center for the Arts
DCCA presents Duo Performing Music in the Irish Tradition
Darke County Center for the Arts casual Coffeehouse Series will present
Siusan O’Rourke and Zig Zeitler, purveyors of traditional and original
music in the Irish tradition, at Arcanum Historical Society’s Wayne
Trail House on Thursday, February 27; the show begins at 7 p.m. “This
outstanding husband and wife duo has been nominated three times by the
Irish Music Association for Top International Duo,” said DCCA Artistic
Director David Warner. “Susan possesses an astounding voice, while Zig
has amazing instrumental skills on guitar, banjo, fiddle, harmonica and
the Irish bouzouki; this will be a memorable performance in an inviting
venue that no one who enjoys music of any kind should miss,” he
concluded.
Based in Saginaw, Michigan, the couple founded the Great Lakes
Gathering, a world class Irish festival, host an Irish radio hour which
airs weekly in the Great Lakes Bay region, and own and operate White
Crow Conservatory of Music, a premier teaching facility which also
houses a state of the art recording studio and a live music venue.
However, Siusan O’Rourke and Zig Zeitler are best known for the magic
they bring to their on-stage performances, winning over audiences that
cross genre boundaries, appealing to fans of Celtic, folk and Americana
roots music.
DCCA’s Coffeehouse series presents high quality professional artists in
an inviting social setting where food and drink are also available.
According to Andrea Jordan, Executive Director of DCCA, the intimate
atmosphere creates ample opportunity for interaction between artists
and the audience, easily creating a pleasing connection that can leave
lasting memories. “The Arcanum Historical Society always puts out an
amazing array of delectable tidbits that enhance the camaraderie and
ambiance of our Coffeehouse shows, which feel like an evening spent
with old friends, comfortable and relaxing and yet at the same time
energizing and fun,” Ms. Jordan said.
Sponsors for DCCA’s Coffeehouse series are Rodney Oda, Steve and Eileen
Litchfield, and Ben and Gail Overholser. The Ohio Arts Council helps
fund this program with state tax dollars to encourage economic growth,
educational excellence and cultural enrichment for all Ohioans. DCCA
also receives funding from the Ketrow Foundation, Lydia E. Schaurer
Memorial Trust Fund, Harry D. and Esther Stephens Memorial, Inc., and
the John R. and Miriam H. Knick Fund of Darke County Foundation. DCCA
membership contributions also help support this show.

Arcanum Historical Society’s Wayne Trail House cost $10, and can be
