Raise your glass to the sounds of the Irish, continuing today andtomorrow in Ocean Shores at the Galway Bay, Convention Center and in Hoquiam at the 8th St. Ale House.
Irish music encompasses many different genres of music — ballads, to lyrical folk songs to ACDC on the bagpipes — there truly is something for everyone.
You really need to spend an entire day.
Today the festival begins at 11 a.m. At that time at Galway Bay Maggie’s Fury will take the banquet room, Carragaline in the tasting room and Grafton Street out on the newly enclosed beer garden. At the Convention Center, The Stout Pounders (not to be confused with the Stomptowners) from Seattle -- a very fun and silly band -- will start off in the Rock room, New Shilling, from Dublin, will take the Session room and in the Ballad room, Erin McNamee of Seattle.
Call your attention to Beltaine, a self-proclaimed “the fun band” and they are. You have three chances to hear them today. They play Galway Bay banquet room at 1 p.m. the Convention Center Session room at 9 p.m. and back to the Galway tasting room at 11 p.m. They do not play on Sunday.
If hard rock is your style, you must check out the Celtica Pipes Rock from Vienna, Austria. Performance times for this high-octane band are Saturday at 4 p.m. at the Galway main stage and 10 p.m. at the Convention Center main stage. On Sunday they will play again at the Convention Center at noon.
If Ballads are your style, hang out in Ballad room of the Convention Center.
Lastly, in Hoquiam, the Ale House will feature Cool on Tea starting at 1 p.m., followed by Erin McNamee, Crooked Jacks, Sons of Malarkey and Grafton Street.
The Irish are here. Be sure to make the most of it.
