TRIBAL CELTIC BAGPIPES, DRUMS, DIDGERIDOOS & BRONZE AGE IRISH HORN

 

I first heard the Wicked Tinkers at the 2001 Calaveras Celtic Faire in Angels Camp, CA. I loved their non-traditional musical approach to Celtic music and instruments, always with a WICKED sense of fun. Did I mention that they are REALLY loud, too?

The Wicked Tinkers are:

Aaron Shaw - great Highland bagpipe

Warren Patrick Casey - tapan, bodhran

Keith Jones - snare drum, djembe

Jay Atwood - didgeridoo, Irish horn

Guest artists playing with the Wicked Tinkers include:

Tyler Spencer

John MacAdams

John McLean Allan

Jed Ward

The group was formed in 1995 when piper Aaron Shaw met bass drum player Warren Casey at The Celtic Arts Center in Los Angeles, California.

Over the years, the band has evolved to include Keith Jones on snare drum and hand percussion and Jay Atwood on didgeridoo and bronze-age Irish horn.

Members of the Celtic group Bad Haggis joined the Wicked Tinkers for performances at the 2005 and 2006 Seaside Games in Ventura, California.

Welcome to the Squidoo Virtual Concert Series. I didn't realize that the Calaveras Celtic Faire has such a big following. I thought they were only known for the Frog Jumps.
