Formed in Aberdeen in 1992\, the band emerged from Scotland’s thriving folk scene with a mission to bring the songs and tunes of the country’s Northeast to audiences around the world. More than three decades later\, they’ve become a cornerstone of the Scottish folk revival\, known for a sound that is unmistakably rooted in tradition while never standing still. Soaring fiddle\, stirring vocals\, cittern and guitar\, dynamic percussion and the unmistakable power of the Great Highland bagpipes come together in music filled with driving rhythms\, beautiful melodies and the energy of four musicians who know how to make traditional music feel completely alive in the moment. The current lineup features original member Jonny Hardie on fiddle and vocals\, Aaron Jones on cittern\, guitar and vocals\, Donald Hay on percussion and vocals\, and former Battlefield Band piper Mike Katz on pipes and whistles. Together\, they bring decades of experience at the highest levels of Scottish traditional music\, and formidable chemistry\, to the stage. Inducted into the Scottish Traditional Music Hall of Fame\, Old Blind Dogs have spent their career taking Scottish music around the world while continuing to explore what the tradition can become. Their acclaimed recordings include Knucklehead Circus\, and in 2027 they arrive at Caffè Lena celebrating their 35th anniversary with a brand-new album. SAMPLE SONG After 35 years\, Old Blind Dogs aren't simply preserving Scottish folk music. They're still playing with it\, pushing it forward and reminding audiences why these centuries-old sounds remain so thrilling.

SUMMARY:The Black Feathers
DESCRIPTION:Multi-act Program Open Mic Other		\n\n		\n			Share:\n			\n								\n				\n					\n				\n\n				\n				\n					\n				\n\n				\n				\n					\n				\n\n				\n				\n					\n				\n			\n		\n\n	 \n\n\n \n\n\n\n\nWith roots in British and American folk\, The Black Feathers’ magical harmonies intertwine with gorgeous ballads and side-splitting humor. \n \nEnglish husband-wife duo Ray Hughes and Sian Chandler weave the spirit of traditional UK folk with acoustic indie rock\, reminding listeners of the era of Steeleye Span. Hughes’ guitar work and the duos' emotive harmony vocals are pure magic. Their music moves easily between styles like folk\, Americana\, and acoustic indie without ever losing its focus on strong songwriting and clear\, expressive performances. It’s a sound that has carried them from the UK to festivals across the U.S.\, including Philadelphia Folk Festival\, Kate Wolf Music Festival\, and AmericanaFest\, as well as official showcases at multiple Folk Alliance conferences.  \n \nSAMPLE SONG \n \n“…stunning harmonies that were so good it reminded me of seeing Gillian Welch and David Rawlings” –No Depression \n \n“The Black Feathers are acoustic\, but with enough power and force to drive a sledgehammer.” –Roots Magazine \n \n“Sheer poetic beauty both lyrically and musically.” –Cryptic Rock \n \nInterspersed with their sparkling ballads they share a ripping sense of humor that never fails to leave the audience in stitches. \n \nStream this show live at Caffè Lena TV.
