Wicked Tinkers have been playing Tribal Celtic Music (a genre they coined and created) since 1995. The Wicked Tinkers aim to create a sound that is both “ancient and hauntingly familiar” with use of bagpipes, tribal drums, didgeridoos, and a Bronze-Age Irish horn and their Scottish Carnyx (another ancient instrument) paired with a modern, rock-and-roll energy; their music will transport you back in time and get an audience off their feet with a raw, primal, and exciting sound. If the bagpipes stir something within your soul, you will love the tribal connection you will feel listening to Wicked Tinkers Wicked Tinkers on Facebook / YouTube
