The group describes itself as a “Celtic Pub Band.” They play some traditional Celtic music but they also write original pieces that they showcased. The band consist of 3 great musicians who happened upon each other and were able to share their passion for traditional Irish music. After all, Irish music isn’t just for St. Patrick’s Day anymore.

The Rogues keep a very busy schedule, especially considering this is their moonlighting project, and they all have full time jobs in other professions throughout Walla Walla Valley. Adam Kirtley, Jerry Yokel and Joel Fitts started The Rogues back in 2001 and now keep busy year-round in the Walla Walla.

Walla Walla Wine Works set a perfect backdrop for The Rogues. Walla Walla Wine Works is unique in that it offers several labels, all under the Precept Brands umbrella. This allows the listener to really match their wine taste with their experience for the night. For me it couldn’t have been a better night for a glass of crisp white wine. My thirst was quenched with the 1st and Main Roussanne. This label series is an exclusive to the downtown location found aptly enough on the corner of 1st and Main downtown.

The Rogues next “gig” will be Labor Day weekend at the Farmers Market. They will be playing both Saturday and Sunday on the main stage of the Walla Walla Farmer’s Market located on Main Street between 3rd and 4th Avenues. The market runs 9 am to 1 pm both days and The Rogues will be playing throughout the market hours so you have plenty of time to catch them while enjoying some of the “fruit” of the valley.

Wine Wednesdays feature a different local artist or group every Wednesday through September from 7-9pm.
