Rockin' at the Royce with Three Times Through
Wednesday, May 18, 2022
Grab your picnic blanket and join us in the library's backyard for a rockin' good time with local band Three Times Through!
Three Times Through plays traditional and new Celtic music from both the European and American sides of the Atlantic. They have been voted the Best Band in Nevada County by The Union readers in 2020 and 2021.
The band started in Southern California in the late 1970s, when Jeff and Gale Peach started jamming with local folk shop owners Greg and Margie Mirken. The four played regular pub gigs, community concerts and weddings. Day jobs and raising kids intervened; the four musicians reunited here in Nevada County in 2009 and have been playing their unusual instruments throughout the community ever since.
The quartet’s repertoire swings widely, from a quirky Welsh hornpipe or lively Irish polka set, to a soft Shetland waltz. The source of a tune needn’t be strictly Celtic: for example, they incorporate a snippet from Star Wars into a Scottish tune. As they slip a Beatles melody between a couple of Breton tunes, their mashups always bring a smile to the audience.
