In 1992, four musicians from Aberdeen’s eclectic music scene created Old Blind Dogs: a touring band showcasing traditional songs and tunes of the North East of Scotland, and bringing them to an international stage. Though the lineup has changed over these many years, the band’s musical heart continues to beat strong.

The current lineup includes some of Scotland’s finest traditional musicians. Original member Jonny Hardie (fiddle/vocals) is joined by Aaron Jones (cittern/guitar/vocals) and Donald Hay (percussion/vocals), plus — breaking news! — Elias Alexander (pipes/whistles/vocals). Collectively they comprise one of the hottest live tickets on today’s traditional Scottish music scene.

As recent inductees to the BBC ALBA Scots Trad Music Awards Trad Music Hall of Fame, the "Dugs" are celebrating thirty years on the road in 2022 by launching their fourteenth studio album Knucklehead Circus. It’s a joyous, uplifting and fun album full of compelling energy and intoxicating rhythm. "OBD" continue to innovate within their tradition while faithfully revealing its essence. Here’s to many more years of Old Blind Dogs!
