Enter The Haggis, a celtic rock band, will take the stage at 7:30 p.m. Saturday, June 4, at the Chocolate Church Arts Center, 804 Washington St. in Bath.

Enter The Haggis is a band without a home, as members hail from all over: London, Toronto, Philadelphia and Portland. Support for the band from fans and the Portland radio station, WCLZ, have helped Enter The Haggis grow deep roots in The Pinetree State, giving Maine a hometown feel.

The group’s last handful of shows since returning to the road in 2022 include Scotland, Las Vegas and Omaha, so a stop in Maine is overdue. The band’s sound features bagpipes and fiddle, driven by a rock rhythm section. It’s not the type of energetic performance typically associated with a church, but The Chocolate Church is no ordinary church. With parts of the building dating back 170 years and a modern sound system, the building itself has something in common with Enter The Haggis; their strengths come from a mix of old and new, honoring tradition but with a fresh spin. For Enter The Haggis, there are about 3,000 years of history separating the highland bagpipes from the electric guitar, one of the ways the band mixes old with new. Another way is by crafting songs in the folk tradition, sharing stories based on real events, but with a contemporary musical edge.

When the pandemic hit in 2020, Enter The Haggis was on the road in support of their new album, “The Archer’s Parade,” largely a return to the band’s signature hard-hitting Celtic sound. After a few shows on that tour the writing was on the wall and the band left the road for about two years, their longest break from touring in 25 years.

Tickets cost $25 in advance or $35 day of show.
