Heron Valley (From Scotland)

We are super proud and excited to bring you this show. It was originally going to happen before the pandemic but it's now been rescheduled and we couldn't be more excited to bring this wonderful band to Racine. Heron Valley In the quiet, farthest reaching parts of Scotland; authentic, skilful, energetic celtic music has been passed down from generation to generation. Heron Valley capture the iconic sounds of the bothies, village halls and kitchen ceilidhs. Inspired by their previous three tours of the USA, the band have been developing their sound, shaped by the people they have met and the beautiful lands they have encountered. The history of the Great Highland Bagpipe, and the West Coast fiddle mixed with the driving accompaniment of the piano and guitar are just some of the aural delights you will experience, captured in their latest release, “Erie Storm”. With a mixture of traditional Scots and original songs, Abigail Pryde tells stories from the places we were born. From the rugged Atlantic islands of the Outer Hebrides, to the mystical hills of Argyll. These musicians are passionate about their heritage and showcase the culture, language, sounds and stories of their homeland in their music. Let Heron Valley transport you to the heartlands of Scotland, through their dynamic performance of the ancient sounds of their home.
