background

The Bookends, from Stratford, Ontario, are Celtic instrumentalists who keep audiences of all ages spellbound and fast-footed with their masterful arrangements. Filled with good natured banter, fascinating footnotes, and a steady switching of instruments, they deliver a show of energetic enrichment, and fantastically frenzied fun. Building on a library of traditional Irish and Scottish gems, they draw on rock & roll, classical, world, and folk music to hone their own sound and pen their own compositions – with arrangements that compel even the hardest of metalheads to dance jigs.
