THE TOWN PANTS  

The Pacific Northwest may not be the first place you would expect to hear rollicking Celtic, Folk or World music, but The Town Pants are determined to change that. The Vancouver, Canada-based band combines aspects of Irish traditional, acoustic pop, roots Americana, even Australian and Mexican influences, to create their own unique brand of “West Coast Celtic.” Armed with a pawnshop’s worth of musical instruments, The Town Pants play songs that appeal to young and old alike.

Our own Jeff Howell is back from his tour with Foghat and ready to rock out with The Cats this Saturday at Big Johnson’s on Seneca Lake.  The lineup consists of all former members of The Cats at one time or another. Ron Hurd (drums & vocals), along with Steve Terwilliger(singer and muulti-instrumentalist). Mark Brutvan (guitar & vocals) and Jeff Howell( bass & vocals). This band really puts on a show, playing two jammin’, 90 minute sets. Don’t miss out. Check the schedule and come out to a show.
