Wicked Tinkers | FREE | Levitt AMP Carson City Music Series | Saturday | August 10th 2024

Since 1995 the Wicked Tinkers have been playing ancient rhythms and forgotten sounds. Their music isn’t typical pipe band fare. They have reimagined the music for the twenty-first century. They aim to create a sound that is both “ancient and hauntingly familiar” with use of bagpipes, tribal drums, didgeridoos, a Bronze-Age Irish horn paired with a modern, rock-and-roll energy; their music will transport you back in time and get an audience of their feet with a raw, primal, and exciting sound. The Wicked Tinkers pioneered the Tribal Celtic sound now played by several other Scottish bands around the globe. The band is beloved by kids from 1 – 100 and every show is different as they never follow a script. Come experience the Tribal Celtic sound of the Wicked Tinkers and join the party!
