Peregrine Druid

About Me

Thomas Hubbard the Peregrine Druid has followed a self-styled path through the heart and soul of the natural world for over half a century. While he can travel through his Celtic ancestry back and beyond a thousand years to Wales, Scotland and Ireland, his music is pure Americana.

Despite a clearly pantheistic temperament, Thomas loves to delve into the ancient symbols, mysteries and wisdoms of all the many cultures where he ever discovers each to hold the same fundamental certainty that we are never alone—but rather inextricably connected with the One, the Universal, our Mother Gaia. And to dwell within wonder and awe is his way.

Thomas has been subjecting small captive audiences (HELP! Please untie me, kind sir…) to his unique world view through song for some three decades. He would love to tie you… ummm… errr… play for you, too. But you gotta let him know, so he can bring along his chords.
