Haggis X-1 in Concert

Haggis X-1 at The Cortland Country Music Park July 25!

Haggis X-1 is a high-energy Celtic rock band built around veteran members of the acclaimed Canadian group Enter the Haggis. Over a 30-year career, Enter the Haggis toured extensively across North America, performing on national television programs including Regis and Kelly, A&E, PBS, and at prestigious stages such as the Kennedy Center for the Arts. Their songs “One Last Drink” and “Down With The Ship” have become modern Celtic pub anthems, keeping audiences raising a pint and singing along wherever they’re played. Carrying that legacy forward, Haggis X-1 blends driving rhythms, pipes, fiddle, and memorable songs into a powerful live show that connects equally with longtime Celtic music fans and brand-new listeners. The band delivers a mix of beloved Enter the Haggis favorites and fresh material, all rooted in strong melodies, big choruses, and a sense of celebration. In addition to Craig Downie, Trevor Lewington and Tom Barraco of Enter the Haggis, Haggis X-1’s lineup features virtuoso fiddler and multi-instrumentalist Jesse Grandmont on fiddle and mandolin (known for appearances on America’s Got Talent and performances with Barrage and Ben Harper), guitarist Will Earley adding rhythmic punch and melodic flair, vocalist/keyboardist Charlotte Roth bringing dynamic lead vocals and rich textures to the band’s sound, and Anthony Candullo on bass. Together, they create an engaging, contemporary take on Celtic rock that’s equally at home in listening rooms, theatres, clubs, and festival stages. Haggis X-1 is built for live performance: a tight, seasoned band delivering big hooks, fiery instrumentals, and the kind of communal singalongs that turn every night into a celebration.
