Blacklight Braille is a large, amorphous “fringe rock” collective from Cincinnati, Ohio. They experiment with a wide variety of idioms, including rock, folk, jazz and Arthurian poetry. Thomas H. Owen Knight and Douglas Smith are the guiding lights of Blacklight Braille although there are usually up to ten musicians on the recordings who play a variety of traditional and non-traditional instruments.
