Stark Raving Plaid combines traditional Celtic music with modern-day feel, while keeping the tunes energetic, entertaining and upbeat. It weaves a thread from the ancient past through classic rock, soul and modern grooves. There are always unexpected twists and turns. You never know what's going to happen at a Stark Raving Plaid show!
It started with John Moen a celtic band veteran, singer, multi-instrumentalist and songwriter. Next came Christopher Peck, an established mandolin, guitar, and brass player. Then add his partner in groove Brysen Bristow, a self-acclaimed party animal, art lover and killer bassist. Locking in the rhythm section on drums is Stu Weitzman a monster on the drum kit. Last but certainly not least, our own little rock star Alice Tilton on fiddle. Her blazing fingers would lock people into a trance if they weren't already dancing!

Over the last 12
years we've made so much music. We've played bars, coffeehouses, train
stations, hardware stores, video arcades, house concerts, big auditoriums, and
we have toured in eight countries!
We have been noted as sounding “authentic” and “timeless”.
We tangle dusty dreams, salty seas, with a silver lining and a ray of hope.
We are a unique fusion of Celtic, Folk, Maritime, Americana, and Bluegrass with
echos of psychedelic and rock. We do not fit into one genre. We hate
labels. We love it all.
Northwest Music Scene wrote, "It’s not hard to imagine them singing these
songs on the snowy shores of a fjord somewhere in northern Europe, as a wooden
ship is sailing off on another journey. Using broad strokes, SeaStar paints
vivid pictures, foregoing paintbrushes for musical instruments and lyrics, with
the thundering vocals of Fae Wiedenhoeft as the driving force behind most of
the music. If you are even remotely interested in Celtic music, you should love
the way the band blends it with other genres to come up with their own unique
style.”
We are honest, hardworking folks who love a good gathering of people to
commune. Music is medicine in a broken world. Let’s raise the vibration
and create something beautiful.
