Saturday February 6th “Circled by Hounds” Wild Celtic fusion band out of Portland, with flutist Hanz Araki TICKET Costs: $18. $20 at the door |
|
From the early 1990's, Old Blind Dogs have stood on the cutting edge of the UK's roots revival and are one of Scotlands most highly touted traditional folk bands. Their energetic sound: soaring fiddle, stirring pipes, dynamic percussion, and polished vocals add vitality and energy to traditional Celtic songs. Jonny Hardie (fiddle, guitar and vocals). The Dogs popularity has never dimmed though and the current foursome of Hardie, Aaron Jones (bouzouki, guitar, vocals), Ali Hutton (Border pipes, whistles, vocals) and Fraser Stone (drums, percussion) "Old Blind Dogs play with a compelling energy and intoxicating rhythm, as players and audience seem to share a wild ecstasy of emotion." The Scotsman "...a Scots neo-traditional supergroup with a bracingly modern musical attack" Montreal Gazette "The skill, talent and verve with which they played, belied their laddishness and the crowd responded with thunderous applause. Folk is the new rock and roll." (Evening News) "Old Blind Dogs have mastered the tricky art of innovating within a musical tradition while faithfully revealing its essence." Acoustic Guitar "Old Blind Dogs bring freshness and colour to acoustic music steeped in centuries of Scottish folklore and history." The Los Angeles Times |

Singer/songwriter Noel Paul Stookey has been altering both the musical and ethical landscape of this country and the world for decades—both as the “Paul” of the legendary Peter, Paul and Mary and as an independent musician who passionately believes in bringing the spiritual into the practice of daily life. Funny, irreverently reverent, thoughtful, compassionate—Stookey’s vocal sound is known all across this land: from “Puff the Magic Dragon” and the “Wedding Song” to “In These Times.” Noel had so much fun last March here in Ojai that he asked if we could do it all over again. Tickets went so fast last March that we added a second show. This time we are moving to the Matilija Auditorium to accommodate the expected crowds. At the 1963 "March on Washington" when Martin Luther King Jr. delivered his “I Have a Dream” speech, Peter, Paul and Mary delivered the compelling “If I Had a Hammer” and “Blowin’ in the Wind”. To an enthusiastic crowd. Noel Paul Stookey has recorded over 45 albums and oversees Neworld Multimedia, presenting new artists and creating children’s TV shows and music. The royalties from his classic “Wedding Song” go to the Public Domain Foundation, where nearly $2 million has been put to work for charitable causes. "Stookey’s special, infectious and charming brand of humor.., watching and hearing Stookey sing Puff The Magic Dragon as if he were a kid, a pirate, then a kid again brings out the magic" Music Review “The warm, clowning humor and humanistic sensitivity which characterized the efforts of Paul Stookey in Peter, Paul & Mary remain in joyful abundance in his solo career. Stookey lets his music speak for itself..., his repertoire, more inspirational than gospel oriented, is based in human-scaled topics rather than the outward political activism of PPM.” Daily Variety |
