Grumpy Old Men

About Me

Grumpy Old Men make old music, of course they do. But not necessarily old in years, more old in feeling. And certainly not old in the meaning of almost dead and gone. On the contrary, our music is vibrant, alive and kicking, though loaded with tradition. We play some own songs but also covers ranging from Irish, English and American tradionals, to songs by Bob Dylan, Mike Scott (The Waterboys), The Gourds and Ralph Stanley. More information is available on our website at http://www.grumpy-old-men.nl , and you can contact us at [email protected] (also for booking information).In the audio segment you can find songs recorded at a radio performance we did in august 2007 and a song from our first album, due autumn 2009. You can also watch some videos, straight below this text you find two videos of a performance at the Boet'n Deure Festival in Odoorn and you can find some more videos under the tag 'Video's'.
