Gaelic Storm

As tens of thousands of enthusiastic record buyers and festival-goers know, Gaelic Storm plays high-energy, foot-stomping, rock-tinged Celtic music. Not only does their instrumentation include fiddle, accordion and pipes, but also the bouzouki, mandolin and an array of drums including the Malian djembe, the Middle Eastern doumbek, the Brazilian surdo, and the Cuban cajón, as well as the Irish bodhrán. The quintet brings influences from rock, bluegrass, Jamaican, African and Middle Eastern music that may surprise those expecting traditional Celtic music and have been described as a “whirlwind ruckus” by the Village Voice.
