Enter the Haggis, or the fun I had last night
Last night I went to see Enter the Haggis play at the Opera House in Boothbay Harbor, Maine. EHT plays Celtic Fusion Rock. They are super musicians! And they are five really nice guys, who seem to enjoy talking to people and signing autographs as much as they like to perform. The performance is high energy, and wicked exciting! Here's a bit of video I shot of "Gasoline", one of their anthems. First, let me say hello and thank you to Chris, Mike, Katie, and David who drove down from the Augusta/Waterville area and adopted me into their group. You are really fun to hear music with, and I appreciate you! (They play beach volleyball together in Central Maine, miles from a beach!)
Now, Enter the Haggis, and Gasoline!
If you are not set up for multimedia, here are some still photos.
One of the great things about the band is they appeal to all ages. The audience ranged from young teens to elders, and every body was rocking! Part of that is winter in Maine... everybody comes out to the Opera House. A hundred years ago, all the seafaring towns in Maine built one. Many were torn down in the seventies, and in the last 10 years or so, the ones that weren't are being restored and saved. Here's the Boothbay Opera House story.
