Red McWilliams, Puyallup, WA.

While doing close to 275 performances in 1997 and more in successive years, Red McWilliams has become one of the most recognized names in Celtic music in the South and southwest USA.    With places like Inverness, Scotland, Tokyo, Japan, Vancouver, BC, Canada, and about 100 other different cities, twenty-eight states, five countries on three continents requesting performances, Red keeps a full schedule.    We are pleased Red is able to perform close to his present “home” in Puyallup, WA.    www.redmcwilliams.com.

The Whistlin’ Oysters, Port Orchard, WA.

    A lively fun loving group, who do not take themselves too seriously, playing traditional and contemporary Irish music in the auld tradition.    Folk ballads, drinking songs, Irish rebellion and fighting music, sea faring ditties and the occasional love songs are their fare.    Having first gotten together in the year 2000, they have changed and morphed into what they are today, while maintaining the same rollicking salty flavor with which they started.    Comprised of Al the mandolin/guitar player, Gary the guitar/mandolin player, lovely Paula the percussionist from Donegal town, County Donegal, Ireland and Leroy on guitar, penny whistle, recorder and percussion, as the need arises.    All are singers and music makers, for the pure joy of it, and hope to pass some of that joy on to their audiences.
