Red Hot Chilli Pipers

 

Bagpipes with attitude. Drums with a Scottish accent. A blazing rock band and show so hot, it carries its own health warning!

It’s Bagpipes. It’s Rock. It’s Bagrock. AC/DC meets the poet Robert Burns. Where rock anthems sit comfortably alongside the great tunes from the glens and the mountains of Scotland.

It’s The Red Hot Chilli PIPERS – (NOT the Peppers!) — a 9-piece ensemble consisting of pipers, guitarists, keyboards, and drummers — who have been rocking the world from New York to Beijing to Melbourne and everywhere in between with musicianship of the highest order and a passion for pipes that will leave you breathless..

Loudon Wainwright III + Chris Smither

 

It was the late 1960's on Charles Street in Boston, outside one of the legendary clubs during the folk revival era, when these two new-to-the-scene young musicians first met. They've stayed friends ever since with their paths crossing at folk festivals, concert halls and clubs.  Over the years, the two have guest-appeared on each other's record, Chris sang on "Somebody Else" for Loudon's Older Than My Old Man Now record. Then Loudon lent a hand on Chris' 50-year career retrospective recording Still on the Levee (singing on "What They Say").
