    Pull the blanket off your bed because this CD is going to give you goosebumps. This group from Owen Sound, Ontario will stir your imagination and move your heart with its Celtic-influenced folk/rock songwriting. In a time when the word "Celtic" is overused and often translates as touchy, feely, New Age, you'll be taken aback with the intense energy, drive and guts of these bold yet warm arrangements of traditional tunes. Playing with and pushing the boundaries where folk tradition and rock meet, this band penetrates to the blood.
