Got Pipes? Get Lucid...
Eclectic World-Fusion Music
is one
way to describe the multi-faceted, jam-induced music of Lucid Druid.
Highlighting the original compositions of two-time World Champion
bagpiper Adam Quinn, the band is composed of 5 core members who
integrate the sounds of bagpipes, guitar, stringed bass, didgeridoo &
Scottish snare with a variety of African drums, creating their own
unique sound that is energetic and ground-breaking.
Hailing from Clearwater, Florida, Lucid Druid initially formed in late
2003 for a special project that turned this select group of musicians
into a band. Using the local Dunedin Brewery’s stage as a platform to
explore
and expose their
music to the public, the band has experienced intense growth and public
support in a short period of time. Quinn’s powerful, melodic
compositions are the cornerstone for the captivating “lucid” sounds
produced by this band. Their unusual arrangements and exploratory jams
make their music truly un-comparable to anything else being produced
today in the genre of Celtic Fusion music. As such, their
all-instrumental performances have had a very strong, cross-generational
appeal that has been revered & praised by audience members of all ages,
regardless of any previous exposure to bagpipe music.
Eye on the World Stage
The primary
goal for this band of seasoned performers is to use their talent,
experience and past success to further catapult themselves onto the
world stage and break the existing mold that currently defines the
standards of Celtic music.
"This is
Celtic Music for the 21st century. Five gifted musicians who
brilliantly and elegantly embrace the art of composition and sound with
a passion that is best left unrefined."
