About

Talisk on Tour

Scottish band Talisk are a three-instrument whirlwind of folk music craftsmanship comprised of Mohsen Amini, Benedict Morris and Graeme Armstrong. The award-winning and chart-topping trio are known for their high-energy, genre-bending electric performances. As one of the most in-demand folk bands, these accomplished musicians are setting the folk scene afire.

They released their critically acclaimed debut album, Abyss, in 2016. Their sophomore album, Beyond (2018), reached No. 1 on the iTunes World Music Chart and racked up scores of five-star reviews. They released their third album, Dawn, in 2022. Their 2022 hit single "Echo" has more than 3 million streams. In 2017 they won Folk Band of the Year at the MG Alba Scots Trad Music Awards. In 2018 they received the largest music prize in Scotland, the Belhaven Bursary for Innovation in Scottish music.

In an interview with American Highways, Amini said, "We generally take a light tech wherever we go. It's more like an EDM concert when you come to see Talisk rather than a traditional folk concert." The best of both worlds? It certainly sounds like it. Get tickets to see the fleet-fingered Talisk when they come to a city near you.

Talisk Live in Concert

Talisk are Mohsen Amini on concertina (2015 BBC Radio 2 Folk Awards Musician of the Year), Graeme Armstrong on guitar and Benedict Morris on violin (BBC Radio Scotland Young Traditional Musician of the Year).

Talisk was formed in 2014 by Amini and Hayley Keenan with Craig Irving joining them. Irving left to join the band Mànran and was replaced by Armstrong. Keenan left the band to continue her career in music education and was replaced by Morris.

In an interview with BostonIrish.com, Amini explained that "In a nutshell, my inspiration comes from home." When your music's foundation is the traditional sounds of your country, there's no place like home for inspiration.

  • Fantastic Show!

    by tinsel on 10/24/25Pantages Theatre - MinneapolisRating: 5 out of 5

    As a follower of The Gardener Brothers, this show was everything expected, multiplied by a thousand percent. They put together a wonderful cast. Talsk had both outstanding solo performances and clever combined music blended perfectly with the dancers choreography. The only downside was the sometimes too bright white, eye level light and not introducing all the cast members and musicians. We were especially thrilled that parking was included, as we're not from Minneapolis, and would have had to arrange that ourselves:)

  • Amazing Performance in a Beautiful Space

    by Destiny on 10/12/25Pantages Theatre - MinneapolisRating: 4 out of 5

    I ordered tickets for “Unleashed the show” with Talisk and the Gardiner Brothers online. After ordering, I was sent an email with information and was able to access the tickets easily through the Ticketmaster app. The seating map shown online could be a little more detailed or labeled a bit more, but otherwise it was great. I liked that there were additional things in the app that could help you prepare for the event such as suggestions for places to park and eat. The theater was ornate and absolutely beautiful! The seats were comfortable as was the theater itself—not too crowded. The staff were very helpful in making sure we found our seats. The line for to get merchandise was a little confusing at first since we didn’t see the signs for it right away, but we figured it out and found some cool things to remember the evening by. The show was splendid! It was energetic and inspiring. They had the crowd throughly engaged. You could tell those on stage were passionate about what they were doing and were having fun doing it. They did a good job inviting the audience to join in their enthusiasm. That enthusiasm persisted throughout the show and continued even when a couple issues or mishaps came up. They bounced back with even greater excitement from the audience. It was excellent! I went with my younger sister and my boyfriend. We loved it and all agreed that we’d go again if we could. Exquisite! :)

    Great show with the super talented Gardiner Brothers and Talisk. I have followed the brothers on TikTok and YouTube since 2020. Well worth the 5 hour drive for this show in a beautifully preserved venue.
