2/28/2025 - Friday Night Music at Dancing Fish - Gallowglass

Gallowglass

Friday, December 28th, 2025

5:30pm - 7:30pm

With a combination of emotional vocal delivery, fresh melodic arrangements, and airtight accompaniment, Gallowglass has developed a style of contemporary Celtic folk that is truly their own. Colum King, of Ceolplay Radio Dublin, writes — “Wonderful band, wonderful range of songs, not the usual. Lovely singing and the blend of musicians is fantastic, and they’ll definitely get plenty of plays on Ceolplay”.

The group, featuring Jan Peters (vocals, harmonica), Mishon Kirkland (vocals, Irish flute), Zach Bauman (Irish Bouzouki) and David Pender Lofgren (Bodhrán), has become one of the Pacific Northwest's most celebrated Celtic music ensembles. Gallowglass has shared the stage with Dervish, Peter Rowan, Jolie Holland, and other luminaries of the folk scene, establishing themselves as innovators among their peers and captivating audiences with their signature sound. The release of their album, 'Dear Ruin' in 2024, has garnered critical acclaim and is enjoying international radio play. While Gallowglass is steeped in tradition, they are keeping their eyes on the horizon and have built a fire for all to gather around. What you get on their debut recording is what you get live with the added wonderments of being in person and more material.

Now in their 11th year, Gallowglass plays annual sold out performances at Bellingham area’s Mount Baker Theater Walton Room, The Firehouse Arts & Entertainment Center, and The Jansen Art Center along with many other distinctive appearances including regional theaters, house concerts, and festivals.

This event is by reservation only and includes a shared appetizer board served to your table. A portion of the $25 admission fee will go to Whidbey Island Nourishes (WIN).
