SEEKING
Drums, Other Percussion.ABOUT
Five Pint Mary is a Celtic Rock band located in Bend, OR. We play rocked- out versions of Irish/ Celtic influenced music from Europe, Newfoundland, and America. The music is loud and rollicking, upbeat and fun for players and listeners. Eight -member group; 3-and 4-part vocal harmonies and diverse instrumentation. We have a great drummer who will be heading off to college in the fall, so we're looking for a new player. Full drum kit. Experience with the traditional Irish drum, the bodhran , is a plus. We've played a few good gigs, and we have a number of shows this summer, if you'd like to check us out.
