[CELTIC ROCK] Gaelic Storm made their debut performing in the 1997 blockbuster, Titanic. Their scene is marked by excitement through dance and laughter — likely meant to juxtapose the (spoiler alert) upcoming sinking of the Titanic. That celebratory excitement epitomizes the live experience. The Celtic rock band is “first and foremost, a live band,” according to guitarist, Steve Twigger. Each musician’s talent is palpable. The bagpipe and the accordion roar through the strings, harmonizing with Patrick Murphy’s rowdy, pass-me-another-Guinness vocals for an experience that takes you to a pub in Dublin. Between songs and whiskey shots, Murphy assumes the role of storyteller—a highly respected role in traditional Ireland—entertaining the crowd with tidings of stories past and Irish culture. The crowd dances and claps along to grand tales, like “The Time I Got Punched By Russell Crowe”. Catch Gaelic Storm at the Tralf Music Hall on Sunday, February 22.
