Please join us for free live music from two bands every Saturday night through September 6.

Get ready for a foot-stomping, fiddle-fueled evening with Shanks Pony, a high-energy Celtic Americana band based right here in the Walla Walla Valley. Known for their infectious blend of traditional Irish and Scottish tunes with a rootsy, down-home feel, they create a sound that’s equal parts pub session and front-porch jam.

Led by husband-and-wife duo Matt and Vicki James, Shanks Pony layers rich harmonies and spirited instrumentation—featuring fiddle, guitar, mandolin, and bodhrán—into lively arrangements that make it impossible to sit still. Their performances channel both the joy and grit of folk traditions from both sides of the Atlantic.

Whether you’re raising a glass or dancing along, Shanks Pony brings warmth, wit, and wild energy to every set. Expect jigs, reels, ballads, and a whole lot of heart.

Kick off your weekend with one of the valley’s most beloved live acts—only in Walla Walla.
