Chris ‘n Tim’s Christmas Spectacular, Featuring Drank the Gold, at Cock ‘n Bull, Dec. 14

GALWAY – Chris Carey and Tim Wechgelaer will be performing at The Cock ‘n Bull barn once again for their annual Christmas Spectacular. They will be joined by good friends, Drank the Gold. With music cultures blending from Americana to Irish folk, and all with a spin that honors the holidays, this is a show not to miss!

Chris Carey and Tim Wechgelaer bring the concepts of repertoire and skill on an instrument to whole new meanings. With a rigorously constant schedule, Chris and Tim, when not playing together have plenty to keep them busy; their gigging calendar is always chock-full. Wonderfully talented on their instruments, the duo always makes for a nice evening of music.

From Upstate New York, Oona Grady (fiddle/viola/vocals) and James Gascoyne (guitar/banjo/vocals) play and sing North Atlantic dance tunes and folk songs.    

Steeped in Irish music for as far back as she can remember, Oona spent many years living in Cork, Ireland, where she honed her skills as a fiddle player and Irish music specialist.  Upon moving back to her hometown of Ithaca, NY, Oona immersed herself in the local traditional music scene and incorporated old time and Cajun tunes into her repertoire.    

Growing up outside Louisville, KY, James was surrounded by music from an early age; radio, vinyl records, church music, and live concerts were a part of daily life. Finding his own musical style as an adult, James always keeps his ears open for sounds – new, old, familiar, or strange. While singing and playing guitar and banjo with Drank The Gold, he delves into the traditions of American old time and Irish dance tunes, while keeping true to his borderless, experimental musical roots.  

Now based in Saratoga Springs, NY, Oona and James collaborate as Drank The Gold, bringing new perspectives and innovative arrangements to the music they love. Craic agus ceol (good times and music)!
