Scotland’s famed Celtic Connections award winners The Langan Band arrive in the U.S. this month and have included one stop in Maine. For nearly 15 years now, the three members of The Langan Band have carved out their own lawlessly virtuosic path of sound; rampaging through the boundaries of conventional genre and cavorting into the territories of wild abandon, purest intimacy, and unconditional musical elation.

On Wednesday, Sept. 25, audience members at the historic Opera House in Boothbay Harbor will have the opportunity to hear these wildly fun Scotsmen.

Ayrshire-born John Langan is found centre-stage, seated on an explosive foot percussion rig of his own devising and fronting the trio with intricate fiery guitar rhythms and witheringly sweet and scathing vocals. To his right stands Alastair Caplin, a classically trained violinist equally discerning in both the London prog-folk/jazz scenes he occupied for years and also the blistering traditional reels and jigs of his native Outer Hebrides.

Stage left is the domain of Angus-born Dave Tunstall and his double bass; from here emanates a seductive concoction of eerily-bowed soundscapes, heart-stopping bass lines, and in conjunction with Caplin’s blurred bowing a truly monumental wall of orchestral noise. The sound of the group reaches its zenith when all of these instruments are joined by the three voices singing together in razor-tight harmony to create an absolute cacophony of joy.

While it is possible to see the evidence of influences the band have drawn on and enjoyed including traditional Scots music, Eastern European Gypsy, progressive jazz and American Old-Time to name a few, the true nature of the sound from The Langan Band is best described as “un-pigeon-holeable, yet utterly irresistible.”

Advance discounted tickets are $25 and available directly from the box office at 86 Townsend Ave. or call 207-633-5159. Regular tickets are $30 and available online at boothbayoperahouse.com and at the Opera House on the day of the show. Doors open at 7 p.m., and the wild wind and fun from Scotland blow onto the stage at 7:30. Don’t miss the Langan Band!
