Tiller’s Folly
Celebrating their 25th Anniversary, West Coast Celtic Roots band, Tiller’s Folly has been telling tales as old as time with a modern lyrical twist, and a penchant for stirring tales of intrigue and adventure, inspired by true life heroes and villains – backed by their potent mix of acoustic Celtic-influenced roots sound for the last 25 years. Their lively songs of happy wars, highwaymen and moonshiners, sad songs of love turned sour and the lonely immigrant’s sorrow, and whimsical sea shanties that compel audiences to tap their feet, clap their hands and sing along with gusto. Their global fanbase that has fallen in love with timeless hits like ‘Water at the Bar’, ‘Death & Taxes’ and ‘Ghosts of Read Island’, ‘Spanish Banks’ and ‘Steamboatin’ Jamiesons’ to name a few.
Tiller’s award-winning productions, including nine albums, continues to expand and refine their potent mix of acoustic & electric based, Celtic influenced Canadiana, Americana, Newgrass and beyond.
