Rumgumption: Twin Cities traditional band

“You... were the best part of the evening! We have gotten many compliments on the entertainment, and demands that, next time, we make room for dancing.”

--Jeff Perry

What's that again?

Rumgumption1) Common sense; native wit
2) Initiative inspired by strong drink
3)A traditional band from Minneapolis, Minnesota is Adam Modares (djembe, Uillean pipes), Jason Novak (cittern, flute), Chad McAnally (hammered dulcimer, Gaelic harp, assorted whistlage), and Shawn McBurnie (vocals, bodhrán).

We play traditional Irish and Scots music with origins ranging from ancient to sometime last week, and have amazed and enthralled literally dozens of people at a time.



The saucy chiels – I think they ca them
Critics – the muckle sorrow claw them,
(For mense nor manners ne'er could awe them
          Frae their presumption,)
They need not try thy jokes to fathom,
          They want rumgumption.

          —Oliver Oldstile (James Beattie), 
          "To Mr. Alexander Ross," 1768
