SUMMARY:Enter The Haggis / Adam Ezra Group @ Higher Ground
DESCRIPTION:The Point Welcomes: \nEnter The Haggis & Adam Ezra Group \nA Tour de Point Show \nFriday\, September 13th @ 8:00 pm \n-Get Tickets and Event Info Here- \nEnter The Haggis\n\nFor the better part of two decades\, Toronto’s Enter The Haggis has combined bagpipes and fiddles with a rock rhythm section to create a distinctively eclectic sound\, praised by The Boston Globe\, The Washington Post and Canada’s Globe and Mail. Their songs offer singalong melodies and deep\, meaningful lyrics which tell the stories of everyday hard working people\, often faced with seemingly insurmountable challenges. Signature songs like “One Last Drink”\, “Gasoline”\, “Down With The Ship” and “Lancaster Gate” have had hundreds of thousands of plays on social media\, appeared in Hollywood movies\, and have been performed and recorded by artists around the world. \nEnter The Haggis is clearly comfortable on the stage and develops an easy rapport with audiences\, sharing the stories behind their songs and laughing through tour anecdotes. The show is exciting and dynamic\, featuring unpredictable and spontaneous moments. One song might feature drummer Bruce McCarthy taking a drum solo on Trevor Lewington’s guitar strings\, while the next song breaks down into a fierce battle between fiddle and harmonica. Sometimes during an encore\, the band will leave the stage entirely to perform acoustically standing on chairs in the audience. \n\n\n\nAdam Ezra Group\n\nIt’s difficult to impart the roots-steeped\, road-trippin’ essence of the Adam Ezra Group into a single word\, but frontman Adam Ezra nonetheless keeps one in mind as something of a mantra: community. \nCommunity is epitomized by a belief that has long doubled as a mission statement for the group: namely\, that making music together is itself a form of grassroots organizing\, capable of nothing less than changing the world. \nFor their most recent release\, Hurricane Wind (2017)\, the AEG fanbase turned the full power of its collective hurricane wind outward\, and shared the music for free with over 5000 people over the course of two weeks. Such a groundswell of activity wouldn’t have been possible even a few years ago; “Hurricane Wind\,” to AEG\, represents both a celebration and reaffirmation of how remarkably that community has grown. \nA tireless touring outfit\, the Adam Ezra Group (AEG) is constantly on the road\, often devoting their time to local charities and always going out of their way to connect with fans. They are creating a powerful\, inclusive community around AEG shows that is beginning to be compared to a social-movement as much as a traditional music fan-base. It’s this dedication to fans that inspired the annual “Get Folked Concert Tour” in which Ezra ventures solo/acoustic to the homes of at least 40 fans in as many days and almost as many states to play house concerts throughout January and February.
