Bridges Home Celtic concert to be held

| February 23, 2017 12:00 AM

BONNERS FERRY – Do you love the sound of soaring vocal harmonies over richly textured Irish and Scottish melodies? Does the rhythm of bodhran get your toes tapping and does the angelic tone of the Celtic harp stir your soul?

Then plan to attend the upcoming ‘unplugged’ concert event at Bonners Books in Bonners Ferry, when the musical trio Bridges Home takes the stage March 17, at 7 p.m. for an upbeat and energetic evening of memorable live music.

Bridges Home is Tami, Dave and Paul Gunter, a trio of lead vocalists and multi-instrumentalists, who will focus on their love of Celtic music for this one-time-only, all acoustic performance.

Instruments include guitar, tenor ukulele, clawhammer banjo, accordion, octave mandolin, Celtic harp, bass, Irish whistles, bodhran, stompbox and washboard. With their popular transition to festival shows and theater concerts, Bridges Home has been performing for audiences of up to 3,000 people, where they place a new emphasis on sharing their striking original songs and the stories behind them.

The trio recently has been featured at several music festivals and large stages, including Northwest Folklife in Seattle, The Festival at Sandpoint and the Medora Musical Amphitheatre in Medora, N.D.

Tickets for the March 17 — St. Patrick’s Day! — Bridges Home concert are $13.50, available exclusively at Bonners Books, on Main Street, in Bonners Ferry. Only 30 seats will be available for this acoustic show.
