Tannahill Weavers

April 26 @ 7:30 pm

$35

Born of a session in 1968 in Paisley, Scotland, and named for the town’s historic weaving industry and local poet laureate Robert Tannahill, the Tannahill Weavers have made an international name for their special brand of Celtic music, blending the beauty of traditional melodies with the power of modern rhythms. As one of the world’s premier traditional Celtic bands, their diverse repertoire spans the centuries with fire-driven instrumentals, topical songs, original ballads and lullabies, and humorous tales of life in Scotland.

It’s been too long since we had a fantastic Celtic band here at the Davis. Perennial favorites We Banjo 3 have unfortunately stopped touring, leaving us seeking a new favorite live band from across the pond. Tannahill Weavers, especially with the recent addition of Iain MacGillivray, might be just the group to scratch that itch! With a long and storied career of songs and stories, this group is world-renowned for the life they breathe into traditional Scottish and Irish music.

Cultural Groups

Energizing our community through arts excellence includes supporting cultural arts groups, artists, and programs.

Grants, community art walks, gallery exhibitions, school programs, and a thriving theatre season are a few ways the Cabarrus Arts Council nourishes its community.

The arts create a sense of place and an identity for communities. It encompasses various mediums of expression and has the power to reach down and touch us deep inside. We are constantly striving to make arts accessible to all members within the community, so that singing, dancing, writing, acting, drawing, painting…can inspire, comfort and excite both the creator and the audience.

Communities with active cultural arts programs take tremendous pride in their neighborhood and are pleased to invite guests to visit and participate. The arts open minds and lead the way to constructive communication and innovation. The arts also benefit the county by attracting audience members who shop, eat and enjoy its various accommodations.

By supporting arts groups and providing visual and performing arts programs, the Cabarrus Arts Council serves our community in a fundamental way that benefits all!

All non-profit arts organizations in Cabarrus County have the opportunity to apply for annual funding from the Cabarrus Arts Council.
