Wrapping Up 2025

Hi All,

Time to check in and say howdy and thank you for being a part of our 2025 journey. We’re just wrapping up the year and it’s been pretty darn amazing.

Some recent highlights were the September Bellingham Celtic Festival concert of Gallowglass & Steeplechase, Seattle’s Royal Room with our fine fiddler friend Jocelyn Pettit, playing the Lincoln City Cultural Center, and just last Sunday a Bellingham show with Jocelyn Pettit at the Blue Room. We also played a wedding with her for some long time fans who got married last October who love us and great fiddle, and it was an amazing time for all.

We’re currently booking a variety of shows for 2026, and have a return to the Samish Island Community Center set for April 19.

There’s a bunch of new songs in the works, and the newer songs we’ve been playing this year such as a beautiful song of the sea and coastal life from a not oft heard Gordon Bok recording called ‘Coastwise’, and our version of an old Fairport Convention song called' ‘Now Be Thankful’ by Richard Thompson and Dave Swarbrick, have settled into being these emotively rewarding pieces.

We hope to see you before long in the coming seasons, and are wishing you the warmest and sweetest holidays,

Jan, David, Mishon, & Zach
