COYLE — If you like a dash of romance in your live music, the duo called March to May might be your ticket.
The Seattle pair will bring their Celtic harp, guitar and voices to the Laurel B. Johnson Community Center for another show in the Concerts in the Woods series — admission by donation, all ages welcome — this Saturday night.
Concert time is 7:30 p.m. for March to May, also known as Darren Guyaz and his sweetheart, Beth Wesche.
They’re about to release their debut album, so the set list will be studded with songs from it: “The Monk & the Lover,” “Falling Down,” “Count the Days,” “Embers,” “Crazy Universe.”
It’s folk pop, but it has a distinctive sound born of what the couple calls an unmistakable chemistry.
Wesche was first captivated by the Celtic harp while she was living in Ashland, Ore.
Already a classically trained singer, she learned to play the instrument, but then she moved away to the East Coast. Music took a back seat to other pursuits.
In December 2012, Wesche came back West, to Seattle’s Fremont neighborhood.
She met Guyaz there, and the two knew pretty soon after that they could make music together. They wrote their first song as a duo in March 2013 in a little cabin on Orcas Island.
The next two months “were extremely significant and formative for us,” Guyaz said. By late spring, they had settled on the name March to May.
“I’ve only heard this band on the Internet, but I love the way they have blended the harp and guitar plus their sweet vocal harmonies,” said Norm Johnson, host of the Coyle concerts.
Guyaz, for his part, encourages listeners to come check out the March to May sound whatever their musical tastes.
“Bring your teenage daughter or your grandpa,” he said.
