Highland Way January 23, 2012

Celebrate the birthday of Scottish poet Robert Burns with Highland Way.

Highland Way brings Scotland (and a little bit of Ireland) to you! Brian Caldwell of Glasgow leads Highland Way in the songs of his homeland, backed by fiddle, mandolin, guitar, accordion, bodran, and whistle. With Ned Giblin from Ireland, Paul Graham Catellanos, Freddy Faith, and guest artist Sharon Whyte, Highland Way offers a evening of lively songs and instrumentals - favorite Highland melodies, jigs and reels, heartfelt ballads, and songs of sly whimsy.

Pre-concert music will be provided by the Bakersfield Christian High School Advanced Jazz Band under the direction of Mr. Brett Clausen.

Highland Way loves to entertain audiences in the concert hall, at festivals, and even on a cruise to Nova Scotia. The band’s 5th CD - Are you Feeling it Yet? - reflects the eclectic mix of music featured in the Highland Way performances. Expect an evening of music both familiar and new, with classic melodies from Celtic tradition along with songs from songwriters like Dougie MacLean and Tommy Sands. All performed with the Highland Way flair and presented with good-natured banter!
