After winning a rapturous reception on their debut Celtic Connections visit in 2007, the determinedly unclassifiable Canadian five-piece The Duhks return to Glasgow with more joyfully genre spanning music.
Seething away in their melting-pot of styles and influences are Celtic, Appalachian, soul, gospel, Latin, old-timey and zydeco flavours, stirred together with equal parts silky sophistication and raw edged verve.
New vocalist Sarah Dugas joins the familiar faces of Tania Elizabeth (fiddle), Jordan McConnell (guitar), Leonard Podolak (banjo) and Scott Senior (percussion).
Tim O’Brien’s production credit on the Duhks’ last album, Migrations, represents just one of the umpteen creative hats juggled by this most prolific and multi-talented of artists.
As underlined by his 2006 Grammy for Fiddler’s Green, Tim’s foremost gifts are as a singer, songwriter and multi-instrumentalist, a master at interpreting and reinvigorating the canon of US roots music, from Celtic-derived fiddle tunes to Bob Dylan songs, while extending it with his own finely-wrought compositions.
