At the left side there is a Reverbnation widget. This month's artist is Angus Mohr, a Highland Rock'n'Roll Band from Lafayette, Colorado.
"Angus Mohr, the man, stood large in the history of Scotland during the transition from the period of Viking raiders to more civilized times.
Angus Mohr, the band, stands large in the transition of traditional Celtic music to a celebration of Highland Rock & Roll. Hailing from Colorado's Front Range, Angus Mohr transforms conventional Celtic style and instrumentation into a unique, yet classic Rock sound. Combining Highland bagpipes and Irish whistles with electric guitars, bass, Hammond organ, synthesizers, and rock drums, makes for a kind of show the Rocky Mountain Highlands have never seen before.
Angus Mohr, the Celtic Rock and Roll Band from the Highlands of Colorado, always gives a powerful and emotionally charged performance. This four piece band combines the ethereal sound of traditional Celtic instruments with the power of American Rock and Roll.
Angus Mohr’s approach to their genre is unique in that they have incorporated Highland Bagpipes and Irish Pennywhistles into a traditional Rock and Roll soundscape. This evolutionary process was quite natural as Angus Mohr’s piper was an accomplished competition traditional piper when he started playing keyboard, guitar and saxophone in a Rock and Roll band. When the bagpipes were used as a change of pace in rock n’ roll shows the response was so overwhelmingly positive it became obvious that Celtic Rock and Roll was the next logical step. Thus Angus Mohr came into being.
An Angus Mohr performance will include centuries old Celtic tunes as well as modern Rock and Roll songs that are adapted to Celtic instrumentation. Angus Mohr also writes original music that incorporates stylistic elements of both genres. The musical result is an exciting and rousing musical blend that results in high caliber entertainment and unequaled audience response.
Angus Mohr's influences include Pink Floyd, Bob Dylan, Tom Petty, The Rolling Stones, Dropkick Murphys, Flogging Molly, and Seven Nations.
When Angus Mohr comes around, make sure to take the opportunity to see and hear this powerful and entertaining Celtic Rock and Roll Band."
