Gaelic Storm

Gaelic Storm is a dynamic and spirited Celtic band known for invigorating the world of modern folk music with their eclectic blend of traditional Irish music, Scottish music, and original tunes in both the folk and rock genres. Formed in Santa Monica, California, in 1996, the group gained early fame with their notable appearance in the blockbuster film "Titanic," where they were featured as the steerage band, capturing hearts with their infectious jigs and reels. The band's lineup has seen changes over the years, but has consistently revolved around founding members Patrick Murphy (from Cork, Ireland) and Steve Twigger (from Coventry, England), whose diverse backgrounds contribute to Gaelic Storm's international appeal.

Throughout their career, Gaelic Storm has steadily released a series of enthusiastic and well-received albums, with a discography including "Gaelic Storm," their self-titled debut album, and subsequent releases like the foot-stomping "Herding Cats," the resonant "Tree," and the playful "Special Reserve," showcasing their masterful storytelling and musicianship. Over the years, their craft has matured, as evidenced by their more recent albums such as "Bring Yer Wellies," blending uproarious humor with heart-tugging ballads, "Cabbage," which continues to display their instrumental prowess, and "Matching Sweaters," an album that feels both familiar and fresh, true to the band's lively persona. Their most recent work, "Go Climb a Tree," adheres to their time-honored tradition of creating music with rollicking energy and unmistakable zeal for life, celebrating the very essence of what fans have come to love about the Gaelic Storm experience. The band's infectious live performances, born of their genuine camaraderie and playful stage presence, continue to draw a loyal and ever-growing fan base, with each album and tour building on their legacy as standard-bearers of contemporary Celtic music.
