Join us for a unique Scottish experience with Skerryvore, a hugely popular and award-winning 8-piece band from Scotland. Band members will guide guests through a sampling of some of their favorite Scotch whiskies, while performing some tunes from the regions of Scotland where the whisky you are sampling originated. This is not a full concert, but rather a wonderful way to engage and learn from this incredible group of musicians in an intimate setting.
Hailing from the remote island of Tiree, Skerryvore has skyrocketed to become one of Scotland’s greatest musical exports, and it’s easy to see why. Their eclectic fusion of folk, rock, and Americana – with thundering drums and bagpipes, of course – is as rich as a single malt scotch.
Since their founding in 2005, Skerryvore has headlined festivals around the world, performed in over 25 countries, and picked up Scotland’s “Live Act of the Year” award – twice. With their distinctive mix of fiddle, accordions, pipes and whistles, alongside guitar and vocals, underpinned by driving bass, drums and keys, Skerryvore fuses outstanding musicianship with sheer joy.
If you love foot-stomping nights out with groups like We Banjo 3, JigJam, or Talisk, dinnae miss the lads of Skerryvore.
