Since forming in the early 1990's, the Old Blind Dogs have stood on the cutting edge of Scotland's roots revival. The band has developed its own trademark style with their energetic mix of tunes. Dynamic percussion, polished vocals, soaring fiddle and stirring pipes fuel the delicately-phrased melodies and traditional songs.
As a group, they are in their sixteenth year (human years), and in that time "the Dogs" have released over ten albums, toured extensively around the globe, and earned the title of Best Band in the 2007 BBC Scots Trad Music Awards. The Los Angeles Times has said of the group, "Old Blind Dogs bring freshness and color to acoustic music steeped in centuries of Scottish folklore and history."
Anaïs Mitchell is already known as a phenomenal singer-songwriter, but now she has proven herself to be a brilliant poet and playwright with her new album Hadestown." -Muruch.com
