BLACK MARKET HAGGIS CONCERT IN THE PUB
Black Market Haggis is returning to the Maggie McGuinness Pub! The band -- not the food.
Mike Clem, Andy Kruspe, and Garrett Smith have been playing Celtic music together in one form or another since 2010. During this time, they kept a running tab of cool band names and even better album names. When it came time to form a trio, "Black Market Haggis" became the clear choice for a band name. So they did what every new band should do when starting out- they searched their band name on the internet to see if it had already been taken. Predictably, no band has ever used that moniker. However, they did find that there is a demand for such a product since the USDA will not allow real haggis in the United States.
Then in the fall of 2015, the band lucked out. The band had been looking for vocalist, and Chenoa Clark's schedule was finally able to accomodate our musical shenanigans. She joined the band, and the boys have had to watch their language ever since.
Born and raised in the Northern Highlands of Alabama (Sand Mountain), Chenoa turned to music as both entertainment and distraction. Being a natural skeptic, with an inate ability for sarcasm, depression, and dark humor, it was only natural that she gravitated toward Gaelic music. She is married with two (and possibly more) children.
Mike is a native of Cullman, Alabama, and a veteran of many different bands of varying and sundry varieties and styles. He has played with several different Celtic bands in the North Alabama area, and packs an extensive arsenal of instruments and quips to most shows.
Although he may not sound like it, Andy is a Southerner- born and raised in coastal North Carolina. By trade, he is a music teacher. His primary instrument is the Irish bodhrán- the drum that everyone wants to play, but no one wants to hear. He is happily married and (even more happily) has no kids.
Garrett has been playing Celtic fiddle ever since he was rescued from the classical music scene, where he found a depressing lack of Guinness available during rehearsals. He finds Celtic music much more relaxed, and more fun.
