They are here and letting us know that they made a mistake on the online tickets. These tickets say 7:30 start, but everything else says 7:00!!! Rant Maggie Rant, one of Canada’s most exciting Celtic fusion ensembles, hits the road again with their fourth annual Frost and Fire tour, delivering a sound as lovely as the hushed winter landscape and as rollicking as a team of horses running away with the sleigh. Since their formation in 2008, this Stratford-based band has been wowing audiences at festivals, concert halls and symphonic stages across Canada and the U.S. with their outstanding artistry and on-stage vibe. Rant Maggie Rant brings together four superbly talented musicians who like to colour outside the lines. During their concerts, they will deliver a beautiful traditional ballad, chase it up with an Appalachian-style groove and end with a killer jig or reel. Traditionalists love their time-honoured style, while new Celtic music listeners are drawn to the band’s fusion of World influences. “RMR is a great band. They packed the house and the audience left dancing. I can’t wait to have them back.” – Holmes Hooke, Hughs Room, Toronto, Ontario. “I can truly say that you were the surprise ‘WOW’ band this year – so much great feedback about your music.” – Sheila Graziano, Saline Celtic Festival, More info: www.RantMaggieRant.com Tickets: www.ticket-e-boo.com or call The Pearl: 905 524-0606 The gifted musicians who make up Rant Maggie Rant are: co-founder Lindsay Schindler (ex-Shaggy Haggis) on fiddle, who now makes her home in Cornerbrook, Newfoundland; Glen Dias (ex-ptarmigan), lead vocals, recorder and incidental percussion; percussionist Rob Larose (Antler River Project); and guitarist Barry James Payne (String Bone).
