CELTIC FIDDLE • ST. PATRICK'S DAY CELEBRATION
Get your Irish up with Northwest legendary electric violinist Geoffrey Castle!
This year will feature the return of the hugely popular (and really cute) Gothard Sisters, and the return of the Championship dancers Maggie, Kelly and Connor from the Comerford School of Irish Dance. A stage full of dancers! They've got a special surprise planned for the end of the concert that should delight everyone...
Bringing the Irish Drinking songs is perennial favorite Dan Connolly, and the players in the band onstage include Darin Watkins on drums, and Eric Robert on keys.
Hosting the evening is Geoffrey Castle, whose showmanship and dazzling virtuosity on the six-string electric violin always guarantees that anywhere he appears will certainly be a good time. There is a lot of talent in the family apparently, as the show will also feature the amazing art work of Geoffrey's wife Shannon Connor Castle, which will be on display during the month of March in the Performance Center lobby.
A feast for the senses! And of course there will be ample supplies of Irish - themed libations in the lobby for those that might get thirsty...

Electric Six-string Violinist Geoffrey Castle fearlessly brings the violin back to center stage with virtuoso showmanship and a 21st century attitude.
Geoffrey is considered a pioneer on the electric six-string violin. From his beginnings as a street musician in New York City and Paris, he rose to play in the Tony Award winning Broadway production of M. Butterfly. A theme of Castle's career is to destroy people's pre-conceived notions of what is possible on a violin, which he does every time he takes the stage. A bandleader and solo artist—with several critically acclaimed releases on his own Twisted Fiddle Music label—Geoffrey Castle has also managed to share stages with an illustrious group of musicians including Blues Traveler, all of the original and current members of Heart, Buddy Miles, and Alan White of Yes.
