Cantrip: A Magical Scottish Folk Trio Experience
Advertisement
The name Cantrip is an Old Scots word meaning charm, magic spell, or piece of mischief, and it aptly describes the unexpected twists and turns in their musical arrangements, alongside the compelling potency of their musicianship.
With swirling border pipes, a raging fiddle, thunderous guitar, and three rich voices, Cantrip creates a sound energetic enough to tear the roof off. After 20 years of touring, Cantrip has developed a unique character. Echoes of traditional music from the 1960s and 70s can be heard, but their music has slowly evolved with the sounds of funk, metal, bluegrass, swing, and even klezmer. Dan Houghton, Jon Bews, and Eric McDonald stir the elements in a witches’ cauldron, slowly coalescing into chaotic order. Their music comes from wild landscapes and wild places of the spirit. — The Orcadian
