Four musicians from very different musical backgrounds came together to create a full-time professional touring band with the aim of showcasing the rich tradition of songs and tunes of the northeast of Scotland on an international stage.Like many of the early flag-bearing Scottish folk bands, the Old Blind Dogs lineup has faced inevitable changes over the years, but the core values at the bands musical heart continue to beat strong. The current band lineup consists of some of the finest Scottish traditional musicians at the top of their game: Aaron Jones (cittern/guitar/vocals), Donald Hay (percussion/vocals), Mike Katz (pipes/ whistles), and Jonny Hardie (fiddle, vocals), collectively making up one of the hottest live tickets on the traditional Scottish music scene today.Expect some new and exciting material, as the Dogs have been making a new album, their 15th recording, in autumn 2025, release date to be announced soon!

Night Moves signed to Domino a decade ago, when John Pelant and Micky Alfano were fresh-faced post-grads barely old enough to take a legal drink. Theyve since made some very good records, their cosmic country grace fueled by a seeming enchantment with strains of international psychedelia.The legendary producer John Agnello must have been very surprised to hear from Night Moves again. Way back in 2015, Night Moves recruited Agnello to produce its second album, the kaleidoscopic Pennied Days. The process, to put it politely, was fraught. Agnello, the credentialed veteran, feuded openly in the studio with Pelant, a then-new bandleader trying to heed friends admonitions of being overproduced and eschew industry expectations of so-called sophomore slumps.But later, Pelant wrote Feel Another Day, a languid country-rocker about a roller-coaster of constant dejection. He could imagine its arcing harmonies, careworn acoustic guitars, and keys that traced the melody like a mobile spotlight. He knew Agnello could get those sounds and help sculpt the song as he imagined it. Night Moves and Agnello reconvened in a fabled rural studio and made more than Feel Another Day. The Redaction EP is a 14-minute, four-track playground of instant hooks, gorgeous textures, and Agnellos sharp production. More dense and magnetic than Night Moves have ever before been, Redaction is a testament to growth and maturityand, of course, the almighty sacrament of a well-made rock song.
