Old Blind Dogs
The Old Blind Dogs, Jonny Hardie (fiddle/vocals), Aaron Jones (cittern/guitar/vocals), Mike Katz (highland pipes/vocals) and Donald Hay (percussion/vocals) return to Santa Cruz with their signature sound of lively tunes and beautiful male harmonies.
The 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 90’s. 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. The Old Blind Dogs line up has faced inevitable changes over the years but the core values at the band’s musical heart continue to beat strong.
The current band line up has been settled for several years now and consists of four of Scotland’s finest traditional musicians at the top of their game.
The Dogs have been inducted to the BBC ALBA Scots Trad Music Awards ‘Trad Music Hall of Fame’.
