The Dread Crew of Oddwood in Atlanta

The result is a sound that draws equally from classic pirate folk, Viking metal, and Celtic pub music, yet hits with the force of a full electric band.

The band's live show amplifies everything that makes their studio recordings compelling. On stage, The Dread Crew of Oddwood is theatrical, high-energy, and intensely communal — the kind of performance that turns first-time listeners into devoted fans by the end of the first song.
