CAVORT will take you on an energetic Celtic journey of perilous passages, hooch-hiding, romantic indecisiveness, and beer. ​Since 2015 our fiddle, whistle, guitar and bodhran have entertained audiences with hearty pub songs and vigorous instrumentals. The result will make you click your heels in musical joy. 

Alicia Guinn, Suzanne Taylor and Christine Traxler are Deception Pass Social Club, an easygoing, campfire-tunes-and-drinks, friend group who gather to play tunes and dance, sometimes in each other’s backyards, but always the first weekend in August on the beautiful shores of Cranberry Lake on Whidbey Island for Camping Cèilidh.  Individually they have decades of experience playing, dancing, and teaching traditional Irish music, in bands, sessions and festivals, but collectively the focus is on playing the music we love in the great outdoors with people we love.  Raise your glass and join us – Sláinte!

Stark Raving Plaid is an exciting celtic rock band that brings smiles, dancing, laughter and energy wherever they go. There is a strand of celtic pride that comes from honoring ancient tradition with an infusion of musical irreverence, fun and mischief. Centuries old songs can sound fresh and their own new material is right at home with the pub classics. They are familiar and approachable like an invitation to join new friends at the bar but dazzlingly accomplished and sophisticated in their musical craft.

Over the last 15 years, Fae Wiedenhoeft and her band Seattle band, SeaStar, have played so much music. They’ve played bars, coffeehouses, train stations, hardware stores, video arcades, house concerts, festivals, big auditoriums, and have toured in eight countries!

Fae Wiedenhoeft is a classically trained, award-winning songwriter who tangles dusty dreams and salty seas with a ray of hope. Her music has been noted as sounding “authentic” and “timeless”. She writes tunes using a unique fusion of Celtic, Folk, Maritime, Americana, and Bluegrass with echoes of Psychedelic Rock. Fae and SeaStar do not fit into one genre. They love it all.

Northwest Music Scene wrote, "It’s not hard to imagine them singing these songs on the snowy shores of a fjord somewhere in northern Europe, as a wooden ship is sailing off on another journey. Using broad strokes, SeaStar paints vivid pictures, foregoing paintbrushes for musical instruments and lyrics, with the thundering vocals of Fae Wiedenhoeft as the driving force behind most of the music. If you are even remotely interested in Celtic music, you should love the way the band blends it with other genres to come up with their own unique style.”

SeaStar is Fae Wiedenhoeft, Captain Chambers, Michael Falcone, and Ron Allen. They are honest, hardworking folks who love a good gathering of people to commune. Music is medicine in a broken world. Fae and SeaStar hope to continue to raise the vibration and create something beautiful.
