AN IRISH RAMBLING HOUSE
TUESDAY, MARCH 17, 2026 TOWER THEATRE 835 NW WALL STREET BEND, OREGON 97703 In Ireland, the neighbors would pick a house to ramble to in the evenings to share music, dance, and story. It was these settings that bore their humor, charm, and a sense of community and togetherness which is what Rambling House exemplifies. It is a joyful culture that’s rich in spirit and warmth. Like a steaming mug of Irish coffee in a neighbor’s kitchen on a cold winter’s night, ‘An Irish Rambling House’ will warm the spirit with stories, music, song, and dance from the rich tradition of Ireland. Spend an evening with native Irish storyteller Tomáseen Foley, Grammy Award-winner William Coulter, native Irish fiddler and vocalist Eimear Arkins, Irish piper Brian Bigley, Riverdance lead dancer Brandon Asazawa and award-winning pianist, accordionist and Irish dancer Samantha Harvey - some of the most gifted performers on either side of the Atlantic. |
