Scottish band Mànran is back with a new studio album, music from the Scotts band Salt House and from Scotland, the band Shooglenifty. From the 30A Songwriters Festival, Robbie Hecht and Edie Carey (Listen Button).

Bagpipes, a traditional Scottish harp, an accordion, sounds like an old-school Celtic band, right? Well, Mànran is anything but old-school. While using some traditional instruments and styles, their music is fresh, original and full of life. Well check out Mànran's latest studio album, Ùrar.
