Saint Patrick's Celebration
Come celebrate St. Patrick’s Day weekend with the Celtic / World Music Band Traveler on Friday, March 13th at 7:00 PM, at the Old Town Center for the Arts.
Traveler is a multi-cultural musical experience fusing Celtic, Gypsy, Middle Eastern, Greek, Turkish, and Rock musical styles. Talented and entertaining, these high-energy multi-instrumentalists will use ethnic and contemporary instruments to deliver a unique and engaging St. Patrick’s Celebration Concert.
Traveler is known for connecting with its audience, giving a high energy, passionate performance that draws the audience in, perhaps by the combination of the cultural connection people have to the ethnic sounds of their own heritage and this music that is so unique.
Scott Jeffers is the composer and band leader; he has traveled extensively through foreign lands to gather inspiration for the Traveler project. Composing most of his songs while surrounded by the people, sounds, sights, smells, and landscapes of these far-away places brings a true authenticity to the fusion. Known for his fiery and passionate violin and vocal performances, Scott’s commanding presence onstage adds to the trademark power of the live Traveler shows. He also brings traditional instruments from his journeys to the stage: Turkish oud, Moroccan loutar that are ancient predecessors to the guitar, bouzouki, a traditional Greek stringed instrument, and most recently a Moroccan sheep horn. Joining Scott Jeffers are band members Zack Egan on guitar and banjo, Barton Applewhite on bass, and Jason Wiedman on drums, dumbek, and duval.
Come hear this unique blend of traditional eastern influences and western rock as we celebrate St. Patrick’s Day. You will enjoy and remember Traveler’s mesmerizing stage presence and a musical virtuosity seldom seen – Truly a concert you won’t want to miss! This event is sponsored in part by the Best Western Cottonwood Inn.

“I have had the pleasure of working with Scott Jeffers and Traveler on a variety of events, ranging from a single night, sold out concert, to a holiday festival spanning the entire month of December. . . . Extremely talented and always entertaining, these high-energy multi-instrumentalists always deliver a unique and engaging show, leaving the audience on their feet and cheering for more.”
- Sara Zeck, Former Special Events Coordinator, Desert Botanical Garden, Phoenix, AZ
“Scott Jeffers and his group, Traveler turned out to be the biggest hit of the first annual Prescott Celtic Festival . . . They have amazing energy onstage and are true showmen. They had the audience enthralled the entire time.”
- David McNabb, Director, Prescott Celtic Festival
“We are so grateful that Traveler was able to perform here at the Tanana Valley State Fair this year! My only regret is that they were only here for 2 days; we were asked about them constantly for the remaining 7 days of the Fair, and I have no doubt they would have played to packed audiences every day if we had been able to keep them here longer! Their music is a GREAT fit for Alaska, and I saw a wide range of folks enjoying the performances. We would definitely entertain the idea of having them return, even though we generally work with In State performers for our Fair!”
- Randi Carnahan Tanana Valley State Fair, Fairbanks, Alaska
