Northwest favorite, Biddy on the bench has been a staple in the Celtic music scene in and around Oregon since 2013. We love these guys!
Biddy on the Bench play Irish traditional music, carving out a niche in Portland, and Oregon’s folk scene with a lively mix of ballads, pub classics, rebel songs, harmonized shanties, and driving dance tunes.
They have gone through various personnel changes over the years.
Today, Biddy carries on as a dynamic trio – Kevin Grgurich, Casey Dyer , and Trevor Cormack – raising song and spirited dance tunes in pubs, festivals, and ceilis throughout the Pacific Northwest. The Biddy sound remains as rousing as ever – ready for raised glasses, full voices, and crowded pubs. (and festivals!)
Biddy will be playing for our Sunday afternoon ceili this year as well as other sets during the festival.
Slainte’!
