The Bombadils, from Montreal Canada, live at Tintenbar Hall.
Supported by Liora Claff.
The Bombadils play traditional and original Celtic, bluegrass, and old time music, influenced by our backgrounds in jazz and classical styles. We had an official showcase at Folk Alliance International 2014 where we met a few Australian musicians who encouraged us to come tour Australia.
The Bombadils are a four piece folk ensemble that first connected in Montreal, QC, at McGill University over a shared curiosity surrounding the Celtic and bluegrass traditions. Sarah Frank (fiddle, banjo, vocals), Luke Fraser (guitar, mandolin, vocals), Alan Mackie (bass, vocals), and Anh Phung (flutes, harmonica, vocals) were raised Canada-wide and trained in classical performance and modern improvisation. Endearingly described by those closest to them as “chamber folk”, The Bombadils have been bringing music and high spirits to festivals, folk clubs, and forests since 2009, allowing diverse influences to flow naturally through their compositions, arrangements and improvisations.
Recent endeavours include an artist residency at The Banff Centre in Banff AB, official showcases at Folk Alliance International 2014 and Folk Music Ontario 2014, and an artist exchange at Ethno Sweden 2014. They have toured throughout eastern Canada, the north eastern States, through the Canadian Rockies, and along the west coast of North America. With the upcoming release of their second album “Grassy Roads, Wandering Feet” (February 2015), The Bombadils will set course for Australia and Europe in 2015. Their music and biography can be found at http://www.thebombadils.com.
"The Bombadils have all the elements of a great band - a high level of musical proficiency, deep respect for the traditional roots of their material and an engaging repertoire which holds the attention of the listener from beginning to end."
-Amy Gajadhar, Canadian Folk Music magazine
"This was the band that came out of nowhere and slayed the audience, offering a richer experience for everyone."
-Liz Scott, artistic director, Eaglewood Folk Festival, Pefferlaw, Ontario
The videos below are a couple of many on Youtube for you to look at.
