Believe it or not, canceled flights were a contributing factor to the formation of Philadelphia-based Celtic-folk outfit House of Hamill.

According to its official website bio, fiddlers Rose Baldino and Brian Buchanan crossed paths at the 2014 Folk Alliance International Conference in Kansas City, when members of Baldino’s band, Burning Bridget Cleary couldn’t make the flight out due to crappy weather.

Nearly a decade later, the two—and later addition Caroline Browning—have proven in their latest music video, for “Gaudete” that vocal harmonies are the furthest thing from a problem. Expect to hear delightful, Celtic-folk chemistry of such and more in Dunedin this weekend.

Tickets to see House of Hamill at the Scottish Cultural Center in Dunedin on Saturday, Feb. 10 are still available for $25.
