ABOUT FRAID KNOT

Fraid Knot is a high-energy Celtic rock band from Western Canada, known for blending traditional Scottish and Irish influences with modern rock intensity. Often described as “Western Canada’s hardest working ambassadors of contemporary Celtic music,” the band delivers a powerful, polished sound that bridges the gap between Celtic tradition and crowd-driven rock performance. Calmer than Dropkick Murphys, edgier than Great Big Sea, and energetic enough to keep any room moving, Fraid Knot’s sound appeals equally to purists and new listeners alike.

With two acclaimed albums—Hoist the Sails and A Pint of Trad—and performances reaching audiences across North America, Europe, Australia, and Asia, Fraid Knot has built its reputation on unforgettable live shows. Tight musicianship, rich vocal harmonies, and relentless energy make every performance an experience, whether on a festival stage, in a packed pub, or at a private event. Two decades + into their career, Fraid Knot continues to captivate audiences and shows no signs of slowing down.
