The Cutters

The Cutters sing Celtic, Maritime, and North American songs. They are a traditional and contemporary folk group whose unique sound could only have been created in America. Combining the musical roots of the British Isles with seafaring and North American traditions, The Cutters sing songs of real people, presented with heart felt vocals, backed by guitars, banjos, bodhran, whistle, and driving percussion. With their energetic performances, driving rhythm, tight harmonies, and affable stage presence, The Cutters have earned a wide following in the Northwest. They also perform with the shanty singers Victory at Sea.

The Cutters carry on a New World tradition of blending musical influences that began with the great cultural melting pot of the sailing ships of the 18th and 19th centuries. They interweave timeless British Isles and Maritime tunes and songs with North American music and Caribbean rhythms. Among their musical influences are The Weavers, Pete Seeger, Ian & Sylvia, Dolores Keane, Dick Gaughan, Maddy Prior, The Clancy Brothers, Peter, Paul & Mary, and The Kingston Trio. To listen to The Cutters is to hear a living tradition!

"The songs featuring Philip Morgan's banjo playing are infectious... an enjoyable and satisfying listen..."
- Steve Winick, Dirty Linen Magazine

"The seafaring tunes harken to a by-gone era, making the listener yearn to be anywhere but on the couch..."
- Gene Armstrong, The Arizona Daily Star Tucson, AZ

"Philip's voice is completely bewitching: it has a purity and clarity I have rarely heard, and has such depth, is so fine, so true that it seems to plumb the depths of your soul."
- Diane Schulstad, Victory Music Review Tacoma, WA
