Chart topping Celtic band: 7 times billboard #1 world music, on tour 200+ days a year
for 20+ years! More fun than a barrel of drunken monkeys.
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. This multi-national, Celtic juggernaut grows
stronger with each live performance, and as you can imagine, after two decades and over
2000 shows, it is a true force to be reckoned with. With their latest release, Go Climb a
Tree, their music has never sounded more representative of themselves as musicians
and as live performers.
The band attributes their continued success to their fanatic audience, and it’s a
well-diversified crowd for sure. The country-music folks adore the storytelling, the
bluegrass-heads love the instrumentals, Celtic fans love their devotion to tradition, and
the rockers simply relish the passion they play their instruments with. Each band
member, in their own way, expresses a deep gratitude for their fans, but it’s best
summed up in the words of Patrick Murphy: “The fans are the ones that have given us
this life. We’re here for them.”
On Go Climb a Tree, co-founders of Gaelic Storm, Steve Twigger and Patrick Murphy,
along with longtime friend and co-writer Steve Wehmever, are again at the helm of
song-writing duties. The album has everything —party drinking songs (“The Beer
Song”), patriotic anthems (“Green, White and Orange”), beautiful folk songs (“Monday
Morning Girl”), spritely instrumentals “”The Night of Tomfoolery”), perfectly poppy
songs (“Shine On”), and even a raucous pirate song (“Shanghai Kelly”). When speaking
of the overall concept of the album, Patrick Murphy gives some insight: “With all the
craziness and division in the world, we wanted to make an album about ‘contemplative
escapism.’ Go Climb a Tree certainly isn’t about dropping out of the conversation, it’s
just about taking a short hiatus to recharge the batteries before you take on the world
again.”
Gaelic Storm takes a true blue-collar, hard-nose approach to touring, consistently
traveling the US and internationally over 200 days a year, forging a unique path in the
Celtic music world. “You have to see us live. We are the true working-mans’ band,” says
Ryan Lacey, who joined the lineup in 2003. “We still, and most likely always will, tour
most of the year, and that’s how we constantly hone our craft.”
The dedication to live shows date all the way back to the mid-1990s, when Gaelic Storm
kicked off its career as a pub band in Santa Monica, California. Due to their discovery at
the pub, by the end of the decade, the musicians had appeared 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 the while gaining a reputation as a
genre-bending Irish rock band, whose songs mix Celtic traditions with something
uniquely creative.
