Artist Bio

For the better part of two decades, Toronto’s Enter The Haggis has combined bagpipes and fiddles with a rock rhythm section to create a distinctively eclectic sound, praised by The Boston Globe, The Washington Post and Canada’s Globe and Mail.  Their songs offer singalong melodies and deep, meaningful lyrics which tell the stories of everyday hard working people, often faced with seemingly insurmountable challenges.  Signature songs like “One Last Drink”, “Gasoline”, “Down With The Ship” and “Lancaster Gate” have had hundreds of thousands of plays on social media, appeared in Hollywood movies, and have been performed and recorded by artists around the world.

Enter The Haggis is clearly comfortable on the stage and develops an easy rapport with audiences, sharing the stories behind their songs and laughing through tour anecdotes.  The show is exciting and dynamic, featuring unpredictable and spontaneous moments. One song might feature drummer Bruce McCarthy taking a drum solo on Trevor Lewington's guitar strings, while the next song breaks down into a fierce battle between fiddle and harmonica. Sometimes during an encore, the band will leave the stage entirely to perform acoustically standing on chairs in the audience.

Enter The Haggis' commitment to putting on a great show every single night has made them a favorite at festivals and performing arts centers across the US and Canada.  As a result, ETH shows have become an annual tradition on some of the most prestigious stages on the continent. The band has also brought hundreds of fans on eight tours of Ireland, forging deeper friendships with their supporters while exploring ancient landmarks and natural wonders across the country.  The next trip is planned for October 11th-19th 2019.

Enter The Haggis has appeared on "Live with Regis and Kelly" and "A&E’s Breakfast With The Arts", and was the feature of an hour-long PBS concert special which aired for months on more than eighty affiliate stations across the US.  The band’s legions of die-hard fans (the self-described “Haggis Heads") have crowdfunded the last four ETH albums, and played a huge part in propelling the most recent full-length record to its debut at #9 on the national "Billboard Heatseekers" chart.  The group’s friendly, welcoming attitude is responsible for the close relationship it has with its supporters, and all five band members truly enjoy taking time after every show to meet with people one on one.

With a lifetime of touring and performance experience between them, musicians Josef Crosby, (founding former member and co frontman of Scythian), and Victor Gagnon, (a highly sought after Nashville studio musician and former fiddler of the Celtic Rock band 7 Nations), have joined forces to create something new – a sound that’s hard to define but comes from deep roots and deep soul.
During his stint with Scythian, Josef headlined some of the top Americana music festivals, including MerleFest, SummerFest, Wakarusa, DelFest, Wintergrass and Bristol Rhythm and Roots. He has been greeted by crowds of 10,000 at the biggest Celtic music festivals in the country, and played for Popes, Presidents and Prime Ministers.
Pigeon Kings deftly balance elements of Americana, Celtic, Contemporary Singer Songwriter and Rock into a hybrid uniquely their own. And while all very serious players, it’s also a band who learned early the value of showmanship and energy both of which they gladly bring to their live show.
