Celtic rockers, Enter the Haggis, will serve up songs from their musical catalog at Laconia’s historic Colonial Theatre on July 15 at 8 p.m.
With nine studio albums, five live albums, and music in several feature films, Enter the Haggis has a large repertoire from which to choose a set-list.
Instrumental choices also abound. Brian Buchanan and Craig Downie share an assortment of eight instruments between them, including trumpet, Irish whistles, bagpipes, and fiddle. Classic rock instrumentation backs their multi-textured sound.
Always at the vanguard of the Celtic-inspired music scene, ETH has become a genre unto themselves. Their lyrics hold meaning and promise with their fans, and their musicianship holds the respect of other bands.
Brett Elliott, executive director of Connecticut’s Katherine Hepburn Cultural Arts Center, said of Enter the Haggis, “Energy and excitement! This group engaged the audience from the first beat, and after doing an acoustic tune in the audience at the end of the show, became an instant crowd favorite.”
No strangers to New Hampshire, the six-member band has regularly entertained audiences at Concord’s New Hampshire Highland Games and the Capitol Center for the Arts.
Their latest album, The Archer’s Parade, was released in March of 2020, and was immediately sidelined by the pandemic. Fortunately, live music is back, and so is Enter the Haggis.
Tickets are $29. For more information, visit coloniallaconia.com, or call (800) 657-8774.
