Tiller's Folly to play Orcas on Saturday, March 10
Friday, March 9 at 7:30 p.m. at Orcas Center
With roots that stretch from the mists of the Pacific Northwest, across the sea to the British Isles, and now moving into the heartland of American music, Tiller’s Folly has tapped into something timelessly fresh and refreshingly sincere. They are the Pacific Northwest’s internationally traveled, virtuosic ambassadors of song.
With seven studio CDs to the bands credit, Tiller’s Folly continues to expand and refine their potent mix of acoustic and electric based Celtic influenced Canadiana, Americana, Newgrass ‘and beyond.’
“Tiller’s Folly is a national treasure.” – Peter North, Edmonton Journal
Fueled by their unfailing passion and enthusiasm for the music, Tiller’s is continuingly experimenting with different phrasing, tones and textures while recording with some of the most exciting and innovative musicians and singers in the business today. Names like the phenomenally talented front man of the iconic group NewGrass Revival, John Cowan to Bob Babbitt (most famous for his work as a member of Motown Records studio band, the Funk Brothers, from 1966–1972, as well as his tenure as part of MFSB for Philadelphia International Records) and the late legendary session keyboardist Larry Knechtel have moved Tiller’s music to a new level of mastery.
Tickets are $25, $19 (Orcas Center members) and $11 for students and may be purchased on the website or by calling 376-2281 ext. 1 or visiting the Orcas Center box office Thursday, Friday and Saturday from noon- 4 pm.
