Join us to enjoy Schmid & Guest who play instrumental Celtic music on fiddle and piano in the American Roots Concert Series at Deception Pass State Park.
Cayley Schmid and Aaron Guest met at the Bellingham Farmers Market in 2009. Jealous of each other’s busking success, they neutralized the competition and started a band together. This was the beginning of a decade-long musical partnership that descended into marriage. After the retirement of their band, Polecat, in 2020, Aaron and Cayley suddenly found themselves musically unsupervised by their bandmates for the first time. Together they play instrumental Celtic music on fiddle and piano. Tunes range from lively reels and jigs to sweeping airs and waltzes, and drawing from Scottish, Cape Breton, and Irish traditions.
