    Tarkin 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
    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 the circle.
    They've been described as "a bunch of multi-instrumentalist gypsies, roving over the mountains of the West Coast.".
