ANGUS MOHR
BUCKLE YOUR KILT, SHARPEN YOUR DIRK, AND GET READY TO ROCK
If Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers merged with The Rolling Stones and added a bagpiper, they would sound just like Angus Mohr.
Angus Mohr, the Celtic Rock and Roll Band from the Highlands of Colorado, always gives a powerful and emotionally charged performance. This four piece band has melded the mystical and ethereal sound of traditional Celtic instruments with the power of Rock and Roll.
This process was evolutionary, as their piper was already well known in the traditional piping scene while he was playing keyboard, guitar and saxophone in a respected Colorado rock and roll band. When bagpipes were used as a change of pace in their rock n’ roll shows the response was overwhelmingly positive. It was obvious Celtic Rock and Roll was the next musical generation. Thus Angus Mohr burst into being.
An Angus Mohr performance will include centuries old Celtic tunes as well as modern Rock and Roll songs that are adapted to Celtic instrumentation. Angus Mohr also writes original music that incorporates stylistic elements of both genres. The result is an exciting and rousing musical blend that results in high caliber entertainment and unequaled audience response.
When Angus Mohr comes to town, buckle your kilt, sharpen your dirk, fill your flask, and get ready to Rock with Angus Mohr.
