Tartanic

https://kirkmanandjourdain.com/1in3y54glj You never know when you’ll stumble upon something great. This past weekend at the Texas Renaissance Festival I stumbled upon the Celtic group Tartanic and was immediately enthralled. I had been shooting images of a group of pirate performers on the grounds and heard high-octane bagpipes and drums in the distance.

I was hooked… so much so that I came back to catch each of their five shows throughout the day. There is something very grounding about a good drum and pipes. Thanks to a CD purchase I now have Tartanic blaring in the Subaru, the unusual sound making people scowl at me at stoplights.

Imagine one dancer, six drums, six drones, 18 notes, fast fingers, high comedy, flying bagpipes, taste-defying stunts and scorching hot music played at over 120 beats per minute with driving speed and high-volume, all brought to you by five men without pants.”

It is all too rare to find people who really are passionate and enjoy their craft; the members of Tartanic clearly do. I’d definitely go out of my way to see this band again.
