Bellowhead

In their decade of existence, 11-piece folk ensemble Bellowhead cut a mighty swath through the U.K. folk scene adapting sea chanteys, dance tunes, and other traditional fare into exuberant, complex arrangements that paired brass, accordion, and fiddle with strong group harmonies. A festival favorite with five popular albums to their credit, they announced their impending breakup in early 2015, followed by a "best-of" anthology and a farewell tour. ~ Timothy Monger
