I have my Nana Mary to thank for the bit of Irish blood in my veins, and am currently planning a fall trip to Dublin. In the meantime, I’m figuring out which one of these four shows in the runup to St. Patrick’s Day will tide me over til then. Take your pick and may your Irish or Irish-loving eyes be smiling. Sláinte!

Boxty

7:30 p.m. Friday. Chocolate Church Arts Center, 804 Washington St., Bath, $18-$25. chocolatechurcharts.org.

Boston-based Irish folk band Boxty will be holding court in Bath on Friday. Fronted by Dublin, Ireland-born singer Cormac Marnell, Boxty plays music infused with both traditional and modern influences. Their repertoire includes gems like “Whiskey in the Jar” and “The Bog Down the Valley-o.” You’ll be whisked away to Ireland while you hoist a pint of Guinness and tap your toes to some Irish dancing.

Dervish

7:30 p.m. Friday. Boothbay Opera House, 86 Townsend Ave., Boothbay Harbor, $30 in advance, $35 at the door. boothbayoperahouse.com.

Celebrate St. Patrick’s Day a few days early with the traditional Irish band Dervish, from County Sligo, Ireland. The emerald enchantment is led by renowned vocalist and bodhrán player Cathy Jordan.

Noonan’s intimate venue will be serving up a multi-course Irish meal that includes Irish bread with honey butter, homemade soup, salad and an entree choice of Noonan’s “corney” beef, salmon shepherd’s pie or vegetarian tarts. Dessert is an Irish cream whoopie pie. Best of all, golden-voiced Noonan, guitarist Kevin Barry and pianist/accordion player Joe “Sonny” Barbado will be performing Irish favorites between courses.
