Breaking into P-Town Irish

2006-03-08T10:38:18Z

Greetings!! We are Circled By Hounds.... a high energy original & traditional acoustic Celtic (mainly Irish) band from the Oregon coast (Cannon Beach).

We are a 3 piece... guitar, fiddle, percussion & vocals (solo & 3 part harmony).

We've played together (under various group names) for a little over a year. We've played around Astoria, Cannon Beach, Nehalem & Eugene and feel like we are ready to set our sights a bit higher...

We are looking to break into the Portland Irish music 'scene' and are looking for advice on who to know, where to go and anything else you'd care to tell us about.

Venues? Sessions? Busking?

You can hear us at: http://www.myspace.com/circledbyhounds

Anything would be appreciated, Thanks in advance...

Vash, Kathryn & Matty
Circled By Hounds

WOODLAND
Woodlands music is inspired directly by the realm of Faerie. Their songs explore the landscapes of Faerie, with mythical lyrics and ancient melodies. For three years Woodland has worked to create and produce the Faerieworlds Festival with Robert Gould of IMAGINOSIS. Their set of Faerie dance songs will feature the World of Froud Digital Faerie Lightshow on Saturday evening.

Founded on the wooded trails of the Oregon Country Fair in the early 90's, Trillian Green is known for their ability to inspire audiences to get up and stomp wildly to their energized celto-tribal acoustic sounds. Trillian Green returns to the forests outside Eugene, Oregon at Faerieworlds this year on Sunday July 24th.

KEVIN BURKE
Kevin Burke is a world-renowned Irish fiddle master, playing the beautiful fluid, highly ornamented style of County Sligo. Kevin has been a mainstay of several seminal Irish supergroups, from The Bothy Band to current all-star Irish band Patrick Street, and the Celtic Fiddle Festival which featured Faerieworlds favorite Johnny Cunningham for many years.

"Lyric, fluid and precisely as tricky as he needs to be...probably the greatest Irish fiddler living."
- The Village Voice

SASHA BUTTERFLY
Immersed in music since childhood, Sasha has been recording and touring extensively throughout the United States, Canada, Mexico, Australia, and Europe. Graced with a voice of an angel and a soulful grit, Sasha performs on a wide variety of instruments including guitar, flute, piano, djembe and more.

For almost a decade Gaia Consort has been creating powerful music with intelligent lyrics that evoke the beauty and magic of the Old Ways.

FIDDLEHEAD
Hailed as one of the finest Celtic groups in the Northwest, Olympia, Washington's Fiddlehead plays an exciting blend of Celtic music and song. The band features Anthea Lawrence on fiddle and vocals, Audra Poor on Uillean pipes, flute, and whistle, and Lawson Dumbeck on guitar, banjo, and bodhran. The distant drone of pipes, sweet ballads sung in Gaelic, upbeat jigs, melodic airs twining between guitar and flute, fiery reels driven by the fiddle; all this is part of a Fiddlehead performance.

THE SUGAR BEETS
Playing their own style of high-energy acoustic music, the Eugene, Oregon's Sugar Beets are unlike any contemporary band on the scene today. Defined by impeccable musicianship, multiple singers and songwriters, and unbeatable live performances, their music draws from the foot-stomping traditions of bluegrass and Celtic music, mixed with contemporary and pop sounds. This year at Faerieworlds they will present a never-before-seen Faerie themed set.

TRANCE ZEN DANCE
Trance Zen Dance is a collective of performance artists, poets, and cybernauts, coming together to celebrate and share their gifts and intentions through live performance.

Recently, Toby has been working as a stilt-walker and dancing bear with a troupe that performed throughout England this summer. Wendy made his incredible costumes and Toby has become a master stilt walker. Toby is also very interested in film making and is working on a short film featuring puppets he has made himself.

JOSHUA SAFFORD
Joshua Safford appears in two forms Raven and Jeremiah Wiggins. Raven is a magical bird that does an act that is a curious combination of balance, eggstraordinary magic and lunacy. Jeremiah Wiggins is the ambassador to the faerie realm, as well as a professional storyteller that has toured nationally for over a decade doing environmental theater, and has been part of the Faerieworlds Festival from the very beginning. His tales are a wonderful cross between humor and fantasy and are sometimes blended with magic. Jeremiah Wiggins is also the human “translator”(I.E. creator) of the faeries’ newspaper, the Daily Crock.. (What pixies read with their morning coffee.) Jeremiah is not hard to spot, just look for the large faerie mushroom perched on top of his head. He’ll plop it down and spin you a yarn. For more information on Joshua, his characters, and strange fantasy products, check out his website at HTTP://www.ravenstory.com/new

SHADOW CIRCUS
"Haaz-Baroque's characters have much more depth than [Peter]Jackson's could have ever hoped to achieve." - Silke Tudor, SF Weekly

The Shadow Circus Creature Theatre, San Francisco's most bizarre satiracle puppetry troupe has just been confirmed for the Faerieworlds Festival in Eugene Oregon.

Who are these madmen with their fun-fur and latex allies; thier Lovecraftian beasts, smarmy elves and fast-talking belligerent trees? Why not come on over to our tribe to find out?(HTTP://shadowcircus.tribe.net/) We promise there'll be punch and pie... Well, probably not punch and pie, actually... But there will be nifty photos and updates of all the new fanciful (and bizarre) creatures you'll see getting into misadventures this July. You may not think that's interesting now, but it probably is best to track our movements...

Please visit http://www.faerieworlds.com and http://faerieworlds.tribe.net for further details and updates
