Old Blind Dogs is a musical group which plays Celtic folk and traditional Scottish folk music, with influences from rock, reggae and Middle Eastern music rhythms. The Old Blind Dogs were named "Folk Band of the Year" at the Scots Trad Music Awards in 2004 and 2007. Also in 2004, Jim Malcolm was named Songwriter of the Year. In 2001, the UK’s Association of Independent Music selected their album Fit? as a finalist for the Celtic Album of the Year award. The band is unusual amongst Scottish folk groups in that it represents the folk tradition of the 'North Eastern shoulder' of Scotland , having a repertoire that includes many ballads from this particular area, often sung in the distinctive 'Doric' dialect of Aberdeen and the surrounding regions.

10:30 PM Seven Nations

www.sevennations.com

The Orlando-based five-piece Seven Nations encompasses a wide variety of diversity in music, but the love for creating their own musical sound remains a common goal. Seven Nations pushes American trad rock and Celtic roots rock while intertwining the brooding beauty of the mandolin, violin, bagpipes, and horns for a worldbeat seascape of rock & roll. Independent success has been entirely on the band's own terms, for Seven Nations has had their own ESPN, PBS, and CNN specials and sold more than 125,000 copies of their countless releases without ever being promoted and signed by a major label. Seven Nations, who formed in 1994, is comprised of vocalist/multi-instrumentalist Kirk MacLeod, fiddle player Dan Stacey, bassist Struby, mandolinist/bagpiper Scott Long, and drummer Ashton Geoghagan. They have played to over 40,000 people at the Edinburgh Festival in Scotland, and in fall 2000 Dewar's Scotch signed on to promote the band's mainstream self-titled debut. They have also played high profile appearances (including shows at the New York City Marathon and the 2002 Winter Olympics Torch Arrival Ceremony).
