Quintessential Irish-American band Solas will perform at 7:30 p.m. on Friday, Feb. 19, in the Auditorium at Northeastern Illinois University, 3701 W. Bryn Mawr Ave., as part of the Jewel Box Series.

This performance is a part of the Jewel Box Series, an eight-concert professional performing arts series presented by Northeastern’s Office of Cultural Events.
