Old Blind Dogs

Experience the vibrant energy and rich traditions of Scottish folk music with the legendary Old Blind Dogs! Celebrating over 30 years on the road, this powerhouse quartet combines timeless Scottish and Celtic traditions with modern influences, creating a sound that is both innovative and deeply rooted. Hailing from Aberdeen’s eclectic music scene, the band’s journey began in 1992 with a mission to bring the songs and tunes of the North East of Scotland to audiences worldwide. 

Today, Jonny Hardie (fiddle/vocals), Aaron Jones(cittern/guitar/vocals), Ali Hutton (pipes/whistles), and Donald Hay (percussion/vocals) form a dynamic lineup of Scotland’s finest traditional musicians. Together, they deliver electrifying live performances filled with compelling energy and intoxicating rhythms. 

With accolades including induction into the BBC ALBA Scots Trad Music Awards 'Trad Music Hall of Fame and their celebrated 14th studio album Knucklehead Circus, Old Blind Dogs continue to push the boundaries of Scottish folk while honoring its essence. 

And the band went into the studio this past summer to record their 15th studio album, slated for release in 2026. The album will feature both Elias and Mike (Katz) on pipes and whistles!
