OLD BLIND DOGS

Saturday, June 5    8 pm

Temple of Music and Art, 330 S. Scott Ave.

A Tucson favorite, Old Blind Dogs return direct from Scotland.

On fiddle, pipes, whistle, cittern, guitar and backed by variety of percussion, plus song and vocal harmonies, Old Blind Dogs give a modern edge to traditional Celtic music. They will play some old favorites and  new music from an upcoming CD release, Beneath the Juniper. ALL SEATS RESERVED. A review: ” New line-up, very recognizable sound. They continue their habit of many years of treating the tradition with respect…but not too much respect. New-boy vocalist Aaron Jones brings his own sound to the OBDs as well. It’s more reminiscent of the intense, occasionally almost snarly Ian F. Benzie sound of yore than of the creamy, melliflous tones of Jim Malcolm, and the OBDs seem to have adjusted their choice of songs to take account of that.” Living Tradition Magazine, 2008.

Line up of the Old Blind Dogs:

Jonny Hardie: fiddle and vocals—an original member and one of Scotland’s finest fiddlers.

Aaron Jones: cittern (bouzouki) , guitar and vocals

Alastair Hutton: bagpipes and whistle
