Gaelic Storm started as a pub band in Santa Monica, California, and has gone on to perform more than 3,000 live shows, appear in the blockbuster movie Titanic, top the Billboard World Music Chart four times, and release 11 albums, including their latest, Matching Sweaters. Their music features sea shanties and drinking songs, traditional tunes and originals, instrumental workouts and vocal showcases.

The band has mixed tradition and innovation for nearly two decades, infusing Celtic roots music with modern influences for a new generation of fans raised on rock, country, and folk. The band includes Patrick Murphy on accordion, spoons, bodhran, and lead vocals, Steve Twigger on guitar, bouzouki, mandolin, and lead vocals, Ryan Lacey on percussion and vocals, Peter Purvis on pipes, and Kiana Weber on fiddle, mandolin, and vocals. "When you go eat pub food in Ireland," Steve says, "you can order the Full Irish, which is a combination of mushrooms, beans, bacon, sausage, black pudding, white pudding – it’s the works, basically.” If you want the Full Irish treatment, Gaelic Storm delivers the goods!
