Today, Galva Jr/Sr High School welcomes Shane Hennessy.
Shane Hennessy is an Irish virtuoso fingerstyle guitarist, singer/songwriter, and composer. With an upbringing in the world of Irish traditional music, Shane has been captivating audiences globally for the past few years, with sell-out solo tours in Europe and North America under his belt, as well as regular appearances at major international music festivals including MerleFest (NC), Walnut Valley Bluegrass Festival (Winfield, KS), Sound of Europe Festival (Düsseldorf, Germany), and Milwaukee Irish Fest (WI). He has released four albums of original music, and his most recent studio album ‘Rain Dance’ was hailed as “a triumphant reaffirmation of his virtuosity and compositional excellence” by Irish Music Magazine.

A Sportsmanship Shoutout from the Amboy Football Team Chain Gang- The chain gang hears a lot during the game sometimes not-so-good comments to the players, but I felt I had to comment to your school about your coach and his staff. I have never heard a coach talk so positively to his players and staff as your head coach did. Not once did I hear anything negative words said to the players. Even if the play didn't go correctly the coach would say "hey we are getting " nice job boys, we'll get it next time keep trying, or we almost got it boys will try this again next time. And the players would comment on an ok coach without any negative backlash from them. I heard "can I go in now coach " the players never gave up themselves. The score infinitely didn't stop their attitude to play and have fun. The respect the players showed their coach also shined the entire game.
Well done Gentlemen, well done.
