The Press Gang, a traditional Irish music quartet from Portland, Maine featuring longtime Bainbridge Island resident Hanz Araki, will be performing a special concert at 7 p.m. Sunday, Feb. 12 at the Treehouse Café.

The Press Gang fuses the talents of squeezebox player Christian “Junior” Stevens, fiddler Alden Robinson, flute-player and vocalist Araki, and guitarist Owen Marshall into a high-octane musical partnership. The quartet blends their skill and fluency in traditional Irish music with their curiosity and aptitude for other styles. The result is a unique sound; at once energetic and sensitive, innovative and reverent.

Once called “a quintessential world-music musician,” award-winning singer and flute player and Pacific Northwest native Araki has been a prominent figure in the Irish music community in North America and beyond for more than two decades. In that time he has released 11 albums, played countless festival stages, toured internationally and collaborated with a number of well-respected musicians within and outside of the Celtic music genre.

Tickets, $18 per person, are available at www.treehousebainbridge.com.
