The Songwriting Process 🍂
As many of you know, last August we rolled out the release of our newest album, "Moment in Time." Since then, everything has moved so quickly between tours and promoting the album and then tours again and of course the inevitable "life stuff" curveballs that happen to us all, that it feels just like yesterday that it came out. Because of that, we have only just gotten around to being able tell some of the stories behind the songs on the album :) Let's start at the beginning.
Fall Tour 2026
We're very pleased to announce the dates and locations for this year's Fall Tour. We'll be doing a limited number of these concerts in Virginia, Rhode Island, New York, Maine, Massachusetts, Michigan and Washington, and we hope you can make it to a show! Most tickets are now available, and we suggest getting them as early as possible because these shows usually fill up in advance. ✨
Vlog: Filming Adventurer
Come behind the scenes with us on the filming of the Adventurer music video! We were on the search for rushing rivers, green forests, and plenty of places for antics. Please enjoy :)
Moment in Time shirt: Back in Stock!
Restock: Moment in Time Shirts and Hoodies!
We got completely wiped out of this design after the last tour, which is amazing, but it meant limited size choices in the online shop for a bit. However, we have recently re-ordered and this is just a quick note to let you know that the "Moment in Time" design is now back in stock!
So if you had your eye on one of these, here you go! Enjoy :)
Behind the Song: “Adventurer”
"Adventurer" is a tune that we wrote back in 2024 and it's the second song that was recorded for the new album, Moment in Time. We wanted it to have the vibe of setting off on an exciting journey, and could picture rushing rivers, waterfalls and mountain trails under the summer sun as the "Adventurer" heads off

Happy March! ☘️
Greetings from rainy Salem, Oregon where we're on the second leg of the Celtic Celebration tour! Last week began with a memorable return to the Spanish Ballroom in Tacoma, followed by 2 shows at the beautiful Snowy Owl theater in Leavenworth. While up there we managed to film some new acoustic videos, announced several Summer festival appearances, learned a bit more about a new music streaming site that pays better royalties than all the others (Qobuz -- check it out!) enjoyed a gorgeous sunny walk along Icicle

December: It’s a Wrap! 🎄
Greetings from the rainy, blustery Pacific Northwest. A few days ago we wrapped up this year's Celtic Christmas tour and also our final shows of 2025. With stops in Portland, Edmonds and Sandpoint, these concerts were so enjoyable this year - it really feels like the holidays kicked off to a warm and festive start and we loved getting to play music from our Christmas albums, hear you all singing along, and enjoy the dancing talents of our special guests! We made wrap-up videos for each of the stops…

Hello from Japan! 🇯🇵
Greetings from the north of Japan in Hokkaido. This is the first time we have ever been to this beautiful region, and we are doing a total of eight shows here! We're having a blast getting to share music with Japanese audiences, once again. Several songs from the new album are featured in the concert this time, including "Moment in Time," which roughly translates in Japanese to the saying "Ichigo Ichie" (meaning 'one moment, one meeting'), "Adventurer," and "New Horizons."
