notes

"Here Be Dragons" is the debut album from the Post-Modern, Celtic-Rock trio Tinsmith. Like the uncharted waters this title alludes to, it was here that they first began to combine traditional Irish, English, and Scottish tunes and songs with the their own world music sensitivities.

The traditional music and stories of the Celtic lands were kept alive by the traveling bands of tinsmiths known as Tinkers. Since the celtic rock trio Tinsmith formed in 1998, they have been crafting their own brand of postmodern Celtic roots rock. Combining traditional instruments, tunes and songs with elements of rock, electronica, R&B, blues and jazz influences...

In the spring of 1997 John McLoughlin and Brooke Parkhurst met Rowan Corbett at a festival in Atlanta, GA. After much mutual admiration, they began experimenting with the possibilities that a trio could afford. They left that festival vowing that if anything should change they should join forces. The following year found Rowan a free agent and Tinsmith was born.

  • Love this cd
    author: Mark Snow/formerly with WXEL-FM West Palm Beach, FL

    I love this cd. I was lucky enough to be at Sunflower Studios in Hollywood Florida when they recorded it and the energy was great...even though everyone was sick at the time! I've played many of the tunes on public radio stations in both Florida and Wisconsin. Their vocals are spot on, and I dig their instrumentals as well. My favorite is "Cliff Rawnsley's Duck." A can't miss for anyone who digs celtic, renaissance festival type music.

  • Great Celtic Music
