Bill Grogan’s Goat to Play at Magic Bag Dec 5
Green up December! Celtic Rock and Roll with the Goat, Stone Clover and the TossPints. It’ll be a disastrously fun evening with Bagpipes, Fiddles, Mandolins, Accordions, oh yeah!
Bill Grogan’s Goat is a collective of five Detroit musicians who have played on and off together for many years in the Detroit music scene. Over the span of their musical careers, the five have covered musical styles ranging from symphonic band music to hardcore punk rock and from solo Irish ballad singing to avant garde Jazz. All these influences come together to bring a fresh approach to classic Irish folk music, utilizing a rock band format of bass, drums, guitars and traditional instruments such as Irish bouzouki, tin whistle, mandolin, fiddle and highland pipes.
