Known as “Portland’s hottest fiddler,” Katie Jane’s dynamic performance features virtuosic, high-speed fiddling, her contagious smile, and unstoppable dancing feet. The Katie Jane Band performs traditional and original fiddle music spanning Scotland, Ireland, Wales, Canada, and the USA. Their music takes listeners on a joyful journey through the folklore of Celtic music, and their engaging storytelling relates the audience to the sweetness of everyday human experience.

The Katie Jane Band shares their dynamic stage performance at Celtic festivals, Scottish Highland Games, and theaters across the United States. Some notable performances include performing at the Pleasanton Scottish Gathering, headlining the Celtic Fantasy Faire in Portland, OR, headlining the Douglas County Scottish Highland Games, performing the live music for Artist Repertory Theater’s production of the Scottish play, “The Strange Undoing of Prudencia Hart,” and producing their own multi-media productions with the Celtic Light Orchestra.

SATURDAY July 28, 2024
8:30 PMCeltic Spoons Performs

The Band Celtic Spoons was formed in 2014 by Paula O’Donnell Beisley from Donegal, Ireland and Gary Wayne from Chicago, Illinois. Since then, we have been advancing and forming our very own sound, while having band members come and go.

In 2021, we added new band member Tom Timmons from Long Beach, California. Tom has been playing Irish music for many years and played with the band The Whistlin’ Oysters for 14 years, as did Paula and Gary for a few years!

While out with the band one evening, we had the pleasure of hearing Tom’s wife Beverly sing, and we weren’t long scooping her up to join The Celtic Spoons. Tom and Beverly have been a wonderful addition to the band and we anticipate many fun times ahead with this new and updated sound. If it’s not fun, why do it! We truly love what we do and it shows in every one of our energetic, heartfelt performances!

Celtic Spoons Members:
Paula O’Donnell Beisley -Vocals, Bodhran, Spoons
Gary Wayne -Vocals, Guitar, Harmonica
Tom Timmons -Vocals, Mandolin, Guitar, Banjo

As a self-supporting, non-profit, all-volunteer organization funding our programs can be difficult. With no corporate backing behind us, and the escalation of expenses over the last few years, our efforts to meet our budget requirements and explore additions to our lineup, has been stymied.

Our journey has been a struggle but with your donation we can navigate and survive these unprecedented times and go into the future solvent and whole! YOU are appreciated.

Thank you for donating to help us continue bringing Scotland to the Pacific Northwest!
