Barrage

Barrage is coming to North Shore!

Barrage is a high-energy fiddle fest, weaving together extraordinary musicianship and dance with traces of everything from country to heavy metal music. Five violinists are backed up with wild and interesting percussions, strong vocals, guitar, bagpipes and expertly executed choreography. The result is a show that blows the doors off “Stomp” and “Riverdance” alike.

Our Barrage event will be on Sunday, January 29th at 3:30 pm in the High School Theatre. It's going to be awesome so you should be there!!!
