"High-octane Celtic-eclectic rock from Toronto"

A haggis is a tasty Scottish dish consisting of sheep heart, liver, and lungs, mixed with oatmeal, onion, suet, and spices, and all boiled inside a sheep's stomach. The Canadian-Scots band Enter the Haggis (bagpiper Craig Downie is from Scotland) has just about as much variety in their style, a high-speed collision of rock, Celtic, bluegrass, and world music. An Enter the Haggis live show is a musical feast--viscerally dynamic, emotionally uplifting and intellectually stimulating. The band’s music darts effortlessly from the trad strains of, say, the Chieftains and the Pogues to the frenetic pop of early Elvis Costello and even to the Latin-tinged spirit of the Buena Vista Social Club and beyond. Recent Enter the Haggis shows have featured some really irresistible new songs with high-energy Celtic-Caribbean blends.

Opening the evening is The August.
