Music Feature: Fraid Knot
This month, the Calgary Culture Club’s music feature takes a Celtic twist with the band Fraid Knot.
Fraid Knot is a Celtic rock/east coast music band based in the heart of cowboy country. But with so
many imports from other parts of Canada, it’s no surprise that they are loved out west. After years
of playing pubs to rabid fans, they finally released a CD called Hoist the Sails (available at
Megatunes). In addition to band members
Byron Eddy, Glenn Webster, Danilo Terra, Lael Johnston, and Ed Williamson, Karl Lingwood adds banjo
to the traditional songs The Leaving of Liverpool and
South Australia. Gloria Kae co-writes and plays the violin on the
opening instrumental number, Island Lament, and adds keyboards to other tracks.
Hoist the Sails is a mixture of original songs written by the band members and traditional Celtic numbers. The CD is fast-paced and rocking from beginning to end, with only Seagull’s Cry and Wild Mountain Thyme as slower songs. Byron Eddy (the only remaining founding member) stays true to the band’s traditional east coast sound while adding a bit of modern flavour to the original Beautiful.
Have a local (Alberta) musician or band you'd like to suggest to be featured? Please contact our Music Feature Team, , at music@calgarycultureclub.com. |
