Gesa Power House Theatre in Walla Walla will host acclaimed Scottish rock band Skerryvore for two unforgettable events on March 29.
First, join the band for an intimate tasting of excellent Scottish whisky paired with each band member’s favorite song. Dive into Scotland’s whisky regions as each dram is perfectly paired with a live, handpicked tune to enhance the tasting journey. Then, finish your evening with a full concert performance by the band.
Ticketholders for the whisky sessions will enjoy tasting four or five premium Scotch whiskies, each accompanied by a Skerryvore performance designed to match the unique flavors, stories and insights of Skerryvore band members.They’ll share personal experiences tied to each whisky region in an interactive, informal atmosphere where participation and fun are encouraged. The whisky sessions will begin at 5 p.m. and will be followed at 7 p.m. by the concert.
From the remote island of Tiree to festivals around the world, Skerryvore — named for a famous nearby lighthouse — has skyrocketed to become one of Scotland’s finest musical exports. And it’s easy to see why. Their eclectic fusion of folk, rock and Americana — with thundering drums and bagpipes, of course — is as rich as a single-malt scotch.
Since setting sail, Skerryvore has performed in more than 25 countries and has scooped up Scotland’s “Live Act of the Year” award three times. With their distinctive mix of fiddles, accordions, pipes and whistles alongside guitars and vocals — also underpinned by driving bass, drums and keys — Skerryvore fuses outstanding musicianship with pure joy.
Tickets for the whisky sessions are $75 each. With only 50 spots available for this unique experience, you won’t want to wait, so get your tickets today.
