Peaches, Cacti, and Apples...

What do those three items have in common.................? Well now they have... HIGHLAND WAY!

2008 has just begun and already it's off to an exciting start. In addition to our beloved gigs in SoCal, we'll be playing at festivals and highland games in Georgia, Arizona, and Washington!

Our first stop is the beautiful, historic town of Dahlonega, Georgia on March 7-9 for their first-ever Celtic Music Festival. We'll play a concert on Saturday night at the Holly Theater (tickets are $30 per person... hurry before they're sold out!) and lead a couple of fun workshops at the festival during the day. Check out their website at Dahlonega Celtic Music Festival to see all the great events they have planned! You will not want to miss the Celtic workshops that are being offered throughout the weekend. Highland Way is leading two of them: Sounds of Scotland and The Dragon and the Fir Darrigs. Sounds of Scotland is a 45-minute concert that has the band sharing some pretty cool info on Scottish traditions and music. The Dragon and the Fir Darrigs is a 45-minute workshop featuring Heloise and Brian as they read aloud the Wee Celtic Tales story about Nessie, complete with musical accompaniment and a singalong!

Check back for details and announcements about Arizona and Washington, both of which are coming up in July!
