The Celtic Society of the Monterey Bay proudly presents Old Blind Dogs for two shows in the Monterey Bay area:

Wednesday, May 1 at 7:00 pm
St. Mary's by the Sea Episcopal Church
Pacific Grove

Tickets: celticsociety.org

Advance $30 | Door $35
Child Advance $12 | Child Door $1

Member discount: $3

The musical evolution of Old Blind Dogs began in Aberdeen in 1992 with roots that grew from the eclectic music scene that flourished in the Granite City during the early 90s. Four musicians from very different musical backgrounds came together to create a full-time professional touring band with the aim of showcasing the rich tradition of songs and tunes of the North East of Scotland on an international stage.

Featuring four of Scotland's finest traditional musicians at the top of their game. Original member Jonny Hardie (fiddle/vocals) is joined by Aaron Jones (cittern/guitar/vocals), Ali Hutton (pipes/whistles) and Donald Hay (percussion/vocals) and collectively they comprise one of the hottest live tickets on the traditional Scottish music scene today.

Note: For this show, fiddler Johnny Hardie will be replaced by acclaimed East Coast fiddler Elias Cordoso. This change is due to problems with US Visa/Entry requirements which continue to plague many of our overseas artists. Elias, a graduate of Berklee School of Music, is widely considered to be a top notch Celtic fiddler, and we anticipate a seamless transition and excellent show, as usual, from The Dogs!!
