History

In 1995, Aaron Shaw ? piper and founding member ? met bass drum player, Warren Casey at The Celtic Arts Center in Los Angeles, California. Playing together in the Los Angeles area,[1] they discovered the simple beauty and power of the music created by these two instruments. "The combination seemed to tap the very soul of Gaelic Music," says Shaw.

It is the music you might have heard hundreds of years ago at a Scottish wedding celebration; or perhaps around the campfire at a Highland raiding party. A raw, exciting sound that touches you on a primal level. Looking for a way to express this feeling of the ancient within the modern world, Wicked Tinkers was born.

Over the years, the band has evolved to include Keith Jones on snare drum and hand percussion and CJ Henderson on didgeridoo and the Bronze-Age Irish Horn.
