Begin with a measure of music born in the Highlands of Scotland and across the sea in Ireland. Add a shaker of down home kitchen party, and fill to the top with rock and roll. THIS, is a recipe to fill flasks all across the country. The wail of the bagpipes blends with guitar, fiddle, and mandolin. The unique sound of the pipes soar above the crowd to get feet moving to a whole new sound with the most ancient of roots. 

​Back to our recipe... here are three skilled musicians, experienced in music of all genres, who decided to get together and mix it up! Ewan Brown, the rock and roll bagpiper who will pipe you an ancient tune from the Highlands to break your heart, then pick up his mandolin and sing you a classic rock song to cool your soul; Lexie will keep the rhythem going while harmonizing with ease; and Andrew will nock your sox off with his fantastic fiddle shreading. Every now and then we will be adding our accompaniment of "& Friends" to join along. They may bring drums, bass, bodhran, djembe drum, saxophone... Who knows what other seasoned performers will be spicing up this eclectic crew.

Whether it is a traditional Celtic tune, a blistering cover with a twist, or one of their rousing originals, Empty Flask will play your favorites and introduce you to new sounds. If you have never heard the pipes, let Empty Flask introduce you to this ancient instrument. 

The band will bring the usual guitars, but will be seasoning that with bagpipes and fiddle. HOWEVER, they may just toss in something to add to the mix. A mandolin, the penny whistle - who knows what else they'll dream up! Just when you think you have them pegged, they will take you down another musical road; one that has people dancing, singing, stomping and a little screaming... You may want to get ready to join in and lend a hand. This is a full participation, get into it, kind of party.
