It’s hard to imagine a band just coming into their own after 20 years of success, but that’s‬ exactly what makes a true anomaly. Gaelic Storm, a multi-national, Celtic juggernaut grows‬‭ stronger with each live performance, and after two decades and over 2000 shows, they are‬ a true force to be reckoned with.‬

‭The band attributes their continued success to their fanatic audience, and it’s a‬ well-diversified crowd for sure – attracting fans of every genre with their rich storytelling,‬ energetic instrumentals, devotion to Celtic traditions and passion for their stagecraft. They‭ are as loyal to their fans as the fans are to them, as frontman Patrick Murphy states,“The‬ fans are the ones that have given us this life. We’re here for them.”

‬Gaelic Storm takes a true blue-collar, hard-nose approach to touring, consistently traveling‬ the US and internationally forging a unique path in the Celtic music world. “You have to see‬ us live. We are the true working-man’s’ band,” says longtime member Ryan Lacey. “We still,‬ and most likely always will, tour most of the year, and that’s how we constantly hone our‬ craft.”

‭This dedication to their live show dates all the way back to the mid-1990s, when Gaelic‬ Storm kicked off its’ career as a pub band in Santa Monica, California. One which‬ performance led to their discovery that ultimately found the band appearing in the‬‭ blockbuster film, Titanic (where they performed “Irish Party in Third Class”). This laid the‬ groundwork for a career that would eventually find them topping the Billboard World Chart‬ six times, making appearances at mainstream music festivals, and regularly headlining the‭ largest Irish Festivals across the country, all while gaining a reputation as a genre-bending‬ Irish rock band whose songs mix Celtic traditions with something uniquely creative.‬

‭ Recent years have seen the addition of Natalya Kay on fiddle and Parker Hastings on‬ guitar, who both bring their own energy, musicianship and spirit to Gaelic Storm.‬
