St. Patrick’s Day with Poisoned Dwarf

Happy St. Patrick’s Day! The show with Poisoned Dwarf is indoors starting at 7pm. Arrive as early as 6pm to explore a special menu presented by Gumbeau’s. Seating is first come, first serve.

Poisoned Dwarf is a Celtic music group that plays virtuosic, innovative and passionate renditions of traditional Irish and Scottish music on acoustic instruments. Thomas DeRose, Mei-Li Garcia, Wayne Hill, Lance Pedigo, and Patrick Rooney are five talented musicians who create a driving sonic energy that has been captivating audiences for over a decade with whistles, flutes, violin, guitar, percussion, and Uilleann pipes together with exciting and lyrical vocals. They perform at a wide variety of musical venues from highland festivals to theaters, from churches to sophisticated listening venues throughout the East Coast, to the occasional pub just for fun.

So what is a Poisoned Dwarf? Well, it depends on whom you ask: Musicians say it’s the name of a famous bagpipe tune; Disappointed competitors say it’s what you call an unfriendly judge; Historians enjoy telling the story of the nickname the citizens of Midden, Germany gave the quarrelsome “Scottish Rifles” battalion posted in in their town after World War II; Others say, it’s just a clever term for cranky Scotsman. We like to think it’s a fun term for a rollicking, fast-paced, friendly group of musicians who love to play traditional Celtic music with a twist.
