Canadian band Tiller’s Folly to perform root music, Friday, March 9

With roots that stretch from the mists of the Pacific Northwest, across the sea to the British Isles, and now moving into the heartland of American music, Tiller’s Folly has tapped into something timelessly fresh and refreshingly sincere. They are the Pacific Northwest’s internationally traveled, virtuosic ambassadors of song.

With roots that stretch from the mists of the Pacific Northwest, across the sea to the British Isles, and now moving into the heartland of American music, Tiller’s Folly has tapped into something timelessly fresh and refreshingly sincere. They are the Pacific Northwest’s internationally traveled, virtuosic ambassadors of song.

With seven studio CDs to the bands credit, Tiller’s Folly continues to expand and refine their potent mix of acoustic and electric based Celtic influenced Canadiana, Americana, Newgrass “and beyond.”

The band will perform on Friday, March 9 at 7:30 p.m. at Orcas Center.

Fueled by their unfailing passion and enthusiasm for the music, Tiller’s is continuingly experimenting with different phrasing, tones and textures while recording with innovative musicians and singers.

Tickets are $25, $19 (Orcas Center members) and $11 for students at www.orcascenter.org or by calling 376-2281 ext. 1.
