Ed Miller (performing Saturday only) is a singer and folklorist whose performances deliver a real taste of Scotland. He is a native of Edinburgh who came to Texas as a young man and has made Austin his home. Hailed as “one of the finest singers to come out of the Scottish Folksong Revival”, Ed engages his audiences with historical notes on the music of Scotland … and always invites his listeners to join in the song. His performances reflect both his continuing love for his homeland and his musical connections to his adopted home in Texas.

Special Guest Artist:  Rich Brotherton.

…performing with Ed Miller on Saturday only

Renowned multi-instrumentalist and singer from the Austin music scene who is recognized as one of the finest guitarists in the industry. He is comfortable playing folk, rock, country, bluegrass and Celtic music. For the last many years he has performed as lead guitarist with legendary Texas musician Robert Earl Keen. Longtime friends, Rich and Ed perform together whenever the opportunity arises. And, when a Celtic tune calls for a fiddle solo, Rich just plays it on his guitar!

Hugh Morrison and Murder the Stout.  Progressive Celtic Rock band led by Wick-born Scottish button accordionist. Rollicking rhythms of traditional Scottish dance band music heard in Ceilidh dance halls across Scotland as well as folk, rock, punk and ska are all apparent in their music. Their catchy melodies and rousing sounds are sure to delight listeners young and old who will no doubt want to sing along. From first note to last, they are far more than the average pub-song rock band.

 

Joe Romeo.  Singer and musician who performs a mixture of Celtic songs and tunes from the 1700s to the present in English, Irish and Scots Gaelic, accompanied alternately by the Scottish Small Pipes, Celtic guitar and banjo. Joe began playing the Small Pipes in the early 1980s when they were rescued from extinction.
