TERIBUS is a bagpipe and drum quartet playing Celtic and Tribal music influenced by musical traditions from around the world. Led by Kevin Hartnell, Richard Kean, EJ Jones, and Al Cofrin, the TERIBUS lineup has many years of experience playing pipes and drums at outdoor festivals. Their love of performance in a variety of settings is evident from the high energy and spirit of fun they bring to every show. Although their classical training and desire to please the musical academics in the crowd is always in the back of their minds, TERIBUS is equally likely to engage in antics never before seen in concert halls, creating the perfect combination for any festive event.
Richard Kean has over 25 years experience as a bagpiper and has performed extensively throughout Europe and North America. Richard began his career under the tutelage of his father Pipe Major Eric Kean and continued to learn under several prominent Scottish bagpipers. In 1996 Richard formed a performance group with P/M Lindsay Davidson and began to develop the bagpipe beyond its traditional role in music. During this time he studied other types of bagpipe music in addition to exploring ways to integrate dance and audience interaction within a musical performance. Since then Richard has perfomed with several groups continuing his interested in taking the bagpipes outside the norm. In his spare time he rummages for unique instruments and listens to some very strange music.

Kevin “Nevik” Hartnell has over 33 years of studying drums beginning his professional music career at age 12. Since 1999, Kevin has been active in the medieval and renaissance music scene with performances at festivals across the United States, Scandinavia and Europe. In his spare time, he enjoys graphic design and photography.

EJ Jones has over 20 years experience as a bagpiper with great success in both the concert and competitive aspects of Scottish piping. He began playing the Texas Renaissance Festival as a bagpiper with the group Clandestine in 1991 and the Rogues in their inaugural year 1994. EJ competes at the Professional level in the Eastern United States Pipe Band Association and won the Houston Highland Games Professional Piobaireachd competition in 2006. In his spare time EJ makes Scottish smallpipes in his home workshop and plays the flute.

TRIBAL FORCE WORKSHOPS:
* EJ JONES: Introduction to Breton Dance (Sat 10:45am-12:45pm 2hrs $30)
Breton dance is an old tradition from when houses were built on dirt foundations. The family building the house would invite over the whole community to drink cider and dance on the spot where the house would be built to stomp down the dirt. The simple dances taught in this workshop are accessible to people with no dance experience because they emphasize bringing the whole community together in rhythm. The music played during the dance is characterized by a call and response usually done by two singers or instrumentalists. These dances are still done today in Brittany and music and dance are still vibrant parts of everyday life. Come learn some easy dances for any time you're at a concert of Celtic music.
* KEVIN HARTNELL: -Tekronomicon- Beginners Doumbek (Sun 8:30am-10:30am 2hrs $30)
Beginners doumbek class covering tones, techinque, rhythms, and exercises:: • Tekronomicon • is a book of over 100 exercises and drills for the aspiring darbuka (doumbek) player and features a primer on learning split finger/hand technique throughout.
