Celebrating St. Patrick with an Irish Rambling House

An Irish Rambling House is arriving at the WYO to celebrate St. Patrick Saturday, March 20, with two performances: a 2 p.m. matinee and a 7:30 p.m. evening show. 

According to a press release, Rambling House melds the heart of Celtic and American folk music with the discipline and sophistication of Baroque music under the direction of Grammy Winning guitarist William Coulter and former Stevie Wonder Band collaborator Edwin Huizinga. Soprano Amanda Powell, of Apollo’s Fire notoriety, offers her songs with untethered joy while the presentation of music is accented with the percussive brilliance of modern Irish step dancing as choreographed by Riverdance veterans Brandon Asazawa and Alyssa Reichert. Brian Bigley, purveyor of the ethereal sounds of the uilleann pipes, and Kristen Capp Bigley, violin, are the producers of this show.

In Ireland, the neighbors would pick a house to ramble to in the evenings to share music, dance, and story. It was this setting that bore their humor, charm, and a sense of community and togetherness which is what Rambling House exemplifies. It is a joyful culture rich in spirit and warmth- like a steaming hot mug of Irish Coffee in a neighbor’s warm kitchen or a free can of Guinness at the WYO provided by Wilcox Abstract & Title. 

Face coverings are required at the WYO and a limited number of in-person tickets are available. Live streaming tickets are also available for this Irish celebration sponsored by the WYO’s Major Season Sponsors and Mickey & Kathy McNickle, Andrew & Jeannie Hall, Charles Shipley, Dave & Trudy Munsick, Holiday Inn Sheridan Convention-Center and The Sheridan Press.
