I don’t really buy into all that End of the World nonsense but just in case – if we’re going out, we’re going out rocking in style with 13 of our favorite rock and Celt rock bands from around the world. See ya back here on the 22nd for great music and a pint...

Chicagoans are so lucky to have this class act performing all over the city and surrounding areas. The Larkin & Moran Brothers have been a part of the Chicago Irish music scene for some time now and for much of it, I’ve followed their musical ascent, watching them progress and mature into the terrific...

Here in the US, this is the week we set aside to remember and be thankful for all our blessings. The story goes this was a tradition with the locals before the pilgrims arrived and they continued it. History and legend may vary on this but it is the time of year that families...

It’s Music Friday again and it will be Celt Rock this week. That seems to be a big favorite around here. So much so that we will be doing Celt Rock again next week. Because of the holiday here in the US next week, we will be bumping Music Friday up to Wednesday so...

This past Saturday evening I was part of the audience at the Fifth Province Pub for an hour of raucous, enthusiastic, high energy, really really loud Celt Rock performed by one of the premier Celt Rock bands around the Midwest, The Kreellers.  Fresh off the launch of their successful new album, Saints and Sinners, they...

Blaggards will be performing their great stout Irish Rock to benefit a young father of three who has recently been diagnosed with ALS (aka Lou Gehrig’s Disease). The concert will be on Jan 22, 2011 at The Slowdown in Omaha. I’m not going to get into any political debates about Health Care. The one...

The long awaited DVD by The Killdares, Up Against The Lights will be released tomorrow 11/4/10. Band concert dvds are a real treasure if, like me, you live in an area not big on the tour plans of most bands. It’s not quite as good as seeing a band live but it’s the next...

The Kreellers are a high energy Celtic rock band out of Detroit and they might just be the best thing to hit the Motor City since the assembly line. The band, in its current line up, has only been together since 2008 but have already made a huge name for themselves. If you live...

Great Big Sea is a great Celt Rock band with a strong leaning toward sea shanties as their name would imply. The band is from St Johns, Newfoundland and the sea is truly in the blood of those from the Maritime Provinces. They are currently on tour so if they are coming to your...
