Talisk to Deliver Genre-Bending Performance at Caffe Lena, Feb. 21

SARATOGA SPRINGS – Coming to perform at Caffe Lena on Feb. 21 is Talisk, a Scottish folk band that is “chart-topping, genre-bending, and instantly enthralling.” Audiences aren’t going to want to miss this show from one of the most in-demand folk outfits out there today.

Alongside extensive touring, and appearances at leading festivals across multiple continents, Talisk have stacked up major awards for their explosively energetic, artfully woven sound. Mohsen Amini, Graeme Armstrong and Benedict Morris fuse concertina, guitar and fiddle to produce an innovative, multi-layered signature that captivates audiences worldwide. At its core, three seemingly acoustic instruments – in the hands of three master craftsmen; one unmistakable, bold sound and captivating live show.

Talisk rose to prominence in 2015 after winning the BBC Radio 2 Young Folk Award. Then in 2017, they were crowned “Folk Band Of The Year” at the Scots Traditional Music Awards. Since then, they have toured the world, reaching a “superhuman intensity level” during their shows, according to one fan. Each song builds and builds, guitar layered on fiddle, fiddle layered on concertina. Each starts slowly. Within two minutes there’s utter mayhem. Every single time. The UK’s Bristol 24/7 raves: “Unless you’ve seen Talisk before, you have no idea what you’re about to experience when you see this band live. They are a life affirming, blood pumping, heart filling, glorious beast. Strobes and a smoke machine were the very least of it. Talisk gave us fireworks.”
