"Cool Doctor" by Brothers 3
Brothers 3 performs traditional Celtic songs and dance music in wide variety of musical settings from jazz and World Beat to country-western, pop, and rock. Using over two dozen instruments, and drawing on the collective experience of seven friends and family members, we put on a fun, high-energy show that simply has to be experienced!
I missed them at NTIF, but I've been hearing a LOT about this band on the Texas Celtic music circuit. The "Cool Doctor" is a set composed of "Cooley's Reel" and "Dr. Gilbert's Reel" in a high-energy fusion setting that starts off like something outta late-night cop drama or something. Great beat. The sound reminds me of a tune I heard from the Old Blind Dogs, including some of punchy start stops. With any luck, mayhaps I'll get to hear the band live one day.
