Friday Night Music @ Farmers Market: Bad Haggis w/ Eric Rigler

FRIDAY NIGHT MUSIC SERIES at The Farmers Market

music |ˈmyoōzik| (noun)

the art or science of combining vocal or instrumental sounds (or both) to produce beauty of form, harmony, and expression of emotion.

Tonight, check out the musical stylings of Bad Haggis w/ Eric Rigler.

Described as "the most recorded piper of all time" Eric (Rigler) is constantly in demand in studios from Hollywood to Nashville to Abbey Road, bringing the timeless, haunting sonorities of the uilleann pipes, the Great Highland Bagpipe and the low whistle to film, television, and recording audiences around the world.

Enter BAD HAGGIS, a band that fuses cutting-edge Celtic with influences of rock, alternative, jazz, pop, groove, world beat, African and Latin influences to produce a hearing-is-believing sonic experience.   From the dual leads of the "bagtar" (bagpipe & guitar) by Eric and guitarist Mike Hoffmann, to the deeply grooving rhythms laid down by bassist/vocalist Mick Linden, Brazilian drummer/vocalist Rogerio Jardim and Colombian percussionist Alberto Lopez, BAD HAGGIS employs a new musical vocabulary to create an exciting fusion of sound.
