SUMMARY:Tannahill Weavers
DESCRIPTION: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. \nIt’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.

SUMMARY:Brass Queens
DESCRIPTION:Brass Queens has developed a signature sound that sits right at the intersection of the Big Apple and the Big Easy: their music is deeply inspired by and pays homage to the New Orleans brass band tradition while injecting the upbeat\, multifaceted energy of their New York home into each performance. The result is a nonstop party: a Brass Queens show will have you singing along to classic pop hits\, dancing your heart out to reggaeton\, and feeling like you’ve been transported to Frenchman Street. In February 2021\, Brass Queens released their debut EP Royal Street on all streaming platforms\, and on October 27\, 2023 they released their first full-length album titled Black & Gold. \nThis is going to be a TON of fun! Imagine the Davis Theatre packed with incredible brass players\, a good funky drummer\, and all of YOU moving to the beat! We might not have Frenchman Street\, we don’t have subways and street performers too often\, but on March 21st Union St will be the place to catch that energy.
