Celtic trio on the cutting edge
Door 7:30 P.M., Music 8:00 P.M. | Purchase advance tickets: $18.50

Uniting three dynamic local Celtic performers, Greenbridge follows a musical vision marked by innovation, style, and a palpable musical chemistry. The band combines fiddle, viola, Irish whistles, guitar, vocals, and percussion in a versatile mix that can be both driving and tender, sporting rich arrangements and an inventive approach.

One of the West Coast's most talented and passionate fiddlers, Michael Mullen (Tempest, Caliban) is as comfortable in front of a rock audience as he is delivering a soulful solo air or song. Tom Wagner, known for over three decades to loyal audiences as a member of the celebrated a cappella singing group Oak, Ash & Thorn, offers masterful vocals and thoughtful guitar work. Tim Hart is a unique talent on the Irish whistle, combining time-honored sounds and structure with modern sensibilities, at times taking phrasing cues from jazz and swing. The trio had played together informally for years, but in 2005 they decided to focus their energies on this new band, incorporating their diverse perspectives into the Irish musical tradition.
