Enter the Haggis

listen : website : video

Buy Tickets Online - Online ticketing available until 2 PM the day of the show, otherwise call (570) 325-0249.

There aren't many groups in America who could lay claim to possibly 18 different genres of music, but Toronto's Enter The Haggis is one of them. To engage this quintet is to indulge rock, fusion, bluegrass, traditional Celtic fare, agitpop, folk, even Latin flavors. Sounds awfully confused, right? Wrong. ETH is one of those rare jewels that actually pulls it all off as if to own everything.

Steve Forbert

When Steve Forbert titles a new song "Middle Age," there's none of Loudon Wainwright III's irony, Bob Dylan's bitterness or Bruce Springsteen's romanticizing. That's because Forbert just lays it out straight, like a BS-free conversation across a café table with an old buddy.

Includes a complimentary beer-tasting with the BrewWorks  brewmaster Beau Baden.
