Tarkin is a 6-piece band that takes North American folk traditions from across the spectrum and blends them together to create a sound that's folk music with a West Coast flair. Sometimes irreverent, often thoughtful, always entertaining, Tarkin's original and traditional songs encompasse a cross-genre acoustic folk style.
With six voices and over a dozen different instruments at hand, Tarkin goes from old-time to country swing to ceilidh band as the instruments get passed around. They've been described as "a bunch of multi-instrumentalist gypsies, roving over the mountains of the West Coast."
