Old Blind Dogs - Scotland
Old Blind Dogs Return to 49 Franklin in Rumford. They visited Rumford for the first time in March 2025 and had a hugely popular kick off to their tour. After many miles and thousands of pleased fans around the US, OBDs wrap up things back on the east coast.
The musical evolution of Old Blind Dogs began in Aberdeen in 1992 with roots that grew from the eclectic music scene that flourished in the Granite City during the early 90’s. Four musicians from very different musical backgrounds came together to create a full-time professional touring band with the aim of showcasing the rich tradition of songs and tunes of Scotland on an international stage. Like many of the early flag bearing Scottish folk bands the Old Blind Dogs line up has faced inevitable changes over the years but the core values at the band's musical heart continue to beat strong. The current line up consists of original member Jonny Hardie (fiddle/vocals), Aaron Jones (cittern/guitar/ vocals), Donald Hay (percussion/vocals) and now joined by the
brilliant piper/whistle player Mike Katz (formerly of The Battlefield Band). They comprise one of the hottest live tickets on the traditional Scottish music scene today touring all over the USA, Europe and at home. Inducted in to the BBC ALBA Scots Trad Music Awards 'Trad Music Hall of Fame’ ‘The Dogs’ have celebrated over thirty years on the road. Their fourteenth studio album 'Knucklehead Circus’ is a joyous, uplifting and fun record full of compelling energy and intoxicating rhythm on which ‘OBD' continue to innovate within their tradition while faithfully revealing its essence. The band are currently working on a new record to be released in 2026. Here’s to many more years of Old Blind Dogs!
With an affectionate yet playful attitude to tradition Knucklehead Circus is a joyous, glorious, and thoroughly Scottish precursor to the Old Blind Dogs’ 30th anniversary.

Dueling Pianos is part of the “Best of Boston” entertainment series and will take place at 49 Franklin in Rumford on Saturday February 1st. As a special feature local musician Keith Belanger will make a special appearance as one of the feature musicians.
If you’ve ever seen a Dueling Pianos show, you were more than likely on vacation in Florida, Vegas, Boston or another destination location. This special performance happens local and consists of two grand pianos, two charismatic, hilarious entertainers behind the keys, and an audience that will laugh and dance into the night. Throughout the event the players perform audience requested songs. The pianists sing and battle back and forth with comedic commentary and hilarious banter. Many times, requests are for Billy Joel, Bob Segar, or Elton John but you never know what will pop up as a request, and you’ll be amazed at the song list these artists have off the top of their heads. The show is always different due to the requests and interaction with the audience; no two Dueling Piano shows are ever the same.
Featured for this special performance is local musician Keith Belanger who studied piano for 16 years with Gail Dorr of Rumford, Maine; he was a voice student at the University of New Hampshire. He has been performing since the age of 7, acting since the age of 14, music directing theater since age 24, and working as a piano cabaret entertainer since 33. Keith lives in Derry, NH with his wife Rebecca and their three sons: Conor, Jacob, and Hunter.
This special performance takes place at 49 Franklin in the Mystic Theater, Saturday February 14th. Doors open at 5:30 p.m. for seating, social, and full pub menu, and the show starts at 7:30 p.m. Tickets are $20 in advance, downtown Rumford and online at www.49franklin.com. Day-of-show tickets will be $25 at the door.
