Get the St. Patrick’s Day season humming with Wild Blue Yonder’s energetic brand of Scots-Irish music. The wonderful Celtic band offers something for every lad and lassie – lively reels, haunting ballads, and sprightly original tunes.
Northeast State welcomes Wild Blue Yonder for two performances at noon and 7:00 p.m. on March 2 at the WRCPA Theatre on the Blountville campus next to Tri-Cities Airport. Doors open approximately 30 minutes before eachshow. The concerts are free and open to the public.
With fiddle, whistles, banjo, mandolin, bodhran, guitar and vocals, the group brings fresh voice to ancient melodies. Each band member also claims a bit of Irish or Scottish ancestry!
Wild Blue Yonder shows feature not only unique arrangements of traditional songs from the British Isles, but also a taste of Celtic lore and language. The band has performed professionally for more than 20 years across East Tennessee and Western North Carolina and produced three CDs.
Wild Blue Yonder was formed by Philip Coward and Melissa Wade, who were joined by fiddler Cindy Wallace in 2003. Each of the three hail from families who played and sang songs passed down from their Scots-Irish ancestors. With newer band members Karen and Michael Leffel, from East Tennessee and Kentucky, Wild Blue Yonder holds a deep respect for the traditions of Appalachia and the music that traveled here from Celtic regions afar.
