About The Ploughshare Poets:
Ryan Stauffer and Vade King are The Ploughshare Poets, a popular duo at the Bottlebrush Gallery known for their boisterous Celtic music, strong harmonies, clever banter, and impromptu parades through the streets of Harmony. Far from being a kitschy pub band, they are masters of the history and cultural importance of Scottish and Irish music. Expert musicians, The Poets play bagpipes, guitar, whistles, drums, and bouzouki. Ryan has played bagpipes for 20 years and makes his own smallpipes. Vade has played extensively in England and ascotland and was the lead singer of “Colin’s Way” for 10 years.
About Laura Wagner:
Laura Wagner has been a bagpiper for over 10 years, recently adding playing and singing Celtic music on guitar to her performances. With a passion for the Celtic genre and storytelling through music, Laura’s background is in theatre, writing and teaching. She has published several books which can be seen here and purchased at the Gallery: laurawagnerbooks.com
