   About Haggis Brothers

The Haggis Brothers are a rockin, swingin, fiddle driven string band that play regularly around the Seattle area; from Irish bars to weddings and everything in between; farmer's markets, festivals and private parties.

Whether inquiring to hire them, or just looking to have a good time out with your friends, come check out the Haggis Brothers at a venue near you (see Upcoming Shows above)

History:

Back in March of 1997 Joe Ross put a group together as a one-off joke band, originally dubbed the Irish Posers, for St. Patrick's Day at the Back Door Lounge never dreaming it would blossom into the full time outfit. They got together again the next year for St. Patrick's Day, this time calling themselves Merle Haggis and the Drifting Highlanders, they all wore kilts. An annual tradition was born. Early in 2001 the band began a Monday night residency at the Lava Lounge and they evolved into the Haggis Brothers. They aquired a steady line-up of Ross, Lou Alexander, Sean Wheatly, and were soon joined by regulars Matt O'Toole on mandolin and Mike Collins on drums. Through constant gigging their playlist expanded beyond traditional Irish pub songs into American hoe-down music, honky-tonk, swing and whatever else they feel like playing. These days the band usually plays as a trio of fiddle, guitar, and bass.

OK so we have been nice and pretty so far, but now it is time to get "down & dirty"! Howlin' Houndog & The Infamous Loosers will be playing with our sax player's band Joey "The Saint" and the A-Men at Tiger Lounge down in Georgetown here in Seattle on Saturday Oct 17th.

Joey "The Saint" and the A-men will be serving up the nastiest (but tasteful) "Dirty Blues" and warming up the crowd for the "Bras for the Cause" charity auction to support the fight against Breast Cancer. Then Joey will play with Howlin' Houndog in the Infamous Loosers (along with their full Horn Section!) Shakin' it down all night!

Come give us (and "Bras for the Cause") your support!

See you there!
