forming in 1988, Tempest has delivered a globally-renowned hybrid of
high-energy Folk Rock fusing Irish reels, Scottish ballads, Norwegian
influences and other world music elements. The last 24 years have seen
the San Francisco Bay Area based act release fifteen critically
acclaimed CDs and play more than 2,000 gigs. It's also enjoyed an
evolving line-up that's enabled musicianship and creativity to rise with
each new member.

acclaimed worldwide. The group's latest studio CD, Another Dawn, finds
the band in peak form as it showcases inventive original and traditional
material.
Tempest
is regularly featured at prestigious festivals including The
Philadelphia Folk Festival, Denmark's Skagen Festival, Britain's
