Palm Coast residents Denis McLean and Sean McDermott play banjo and guitar with the band, and McDermott's daughter, Mikayla, dances.The show is free, but tips from the performance will be donated to Trocaire, the overseas development agency of the Catholic Church in Ireland, which works with partner agencies and churches to help combat poverty in more than 20 countries.
