Celtic Crimes play March 17
The Griffin House celebrates St. Patrick’s on Thursday, March 17, with music from Celtic Crimes from 7-9 p.m.
Enjoy wine and beer tastings, Irish inspired appetizers, friends and family while supporting local artists in an intimate house setting, soaring Gorge views and favorite Hood River musician Kerry Williams, along with Portland's own Barry Crannell. Criminally fun and Celtic be this duo! Doors open at 6 p.m. to mingle.
Once a year they knock the dust off their repertoire of Irish music, sit down, pick up their assortment of guitars, bouzouki, mandolins, banjo, and a song or three, and just kick arse.
This once a year thing is their first Crime. Williams and Crannell have been at this musical partnership for comin' on four decades now, but still live too far apart — Crime No. 2. Their treatment of traditional tunes, both American and Irish, is often a bit less than traditional, sometimes just bloody irreverent — Crime No. 3. And they were winners on the Gong Show — Crime No. 4.
Proceeds benefit Gorge Community Foundation along with the artists of course! Sláinte! Cuir bheith linn.
