Rawlins Cross
b'
Rawlins Cross was formed in St. John\\u2019s in the late 1980s by songwriting brothers Dave Panting (guitar and mandolin) and Geoff Panting (keyboards and accordion) and Ian McKinnon (highland pipes and tin whistle). Since then, Rawlins Cross has been at the vanguard of the fusion of Celtic traditional music with the rhythms of rock, pop and worldbeat music. Equally at ease with a soulful Highland Air (MacPherson\\u2019s Lament) or a raucous party song (Colleen, Reel \\u2018n\\u2019 Roll, Rock Steady), Rawlins Cross never fails to electrify its faithful fans. Over its nearly 30 year run, Rawlins Cross has always been a \\u201cfan favourite\\u201d on the North American and European concert and festival circuits.The band burst onto the East Coast recording scene in late \\u201989 with its first indie recording, A Turn of the Wheel and a video for the single Colleen. Just weeks after its release, Colleen scored a top ten radio slot on Toronto\\u2019s influential CFNY station and Rawlins Cross was on its way.Rock Steady is the ninth studio project for Rawlins Cross and one of the most personal, with six original tracks being written by the band.
