Gaelic Storm continues to broaden the musical horizons of the Celtic music genre by creating compelling originals and fresh arrangements steeped in Irish traditional melody and acoustic instrumentation combined with their unique blend of world rhythms. Gaelic Storm?s illustrious career now spans over a decade and highlights include a mini-documentary on Cinemax, six Billboard Chart topping albums, a DVD, a song placement on two EA Sports Games and an appearance in the film Titanic. Gaelic Storm has sold out numerous clubs and performing arts centers around the country and has played to tens of thousands of people, pushing their popularity beyond the World music genre and into the mainstream music consciousness. Remarkably, the band has headlined the largest U.S. Irish Festival, Milwaukee Irish Fest, for six straight years. In June 2008, Gaelic Storm brought their compelling and festive live performance to Australia, kicking off their tour at the National Celtic Festival. The band released their seventh album titled What?s The Rumpus in July 2008. The album captures the contagious energy of Gaelic Storm?s renowned live performances channeling the rowdy communal feel of an Irish pub on raucous sing-alongs, driving pipe sets and spirited fiddle tunes. Since their self-titled first album which reached #5 on Billboard's World Music Chart in 1998, Gaelic Storm continues to thunder onto stages around the world and climb to the top of the Billboard Charts. The band?s sixth studio album Bring Yer Wellies (2006) debuted at #2 on the Billboard World Chart, #16 on the Internet Sales Chart and #31 on the Independent Album Chart. Gaelic Storm?s fifth album How Are We Getting Home? (2004) debuted at #3 on the Billboard World Music Charts and #10 on the Billboard Heatseekers Chart and re-entered the September 2005 World Albums Chart at #3. Their previous four albums have all charted high on the Billboard World Music Chart, including reaching the #2 position on three different occasions. Gaelic Storm released their first live concert DVD ?Live In Chicago? in 2006. Taped on September 14, 2005 before a packed audience of raving fans at the House of Blues in Chicago, the 2-hour video captures the trademark energetic performance and enthusiastic audience interaction that make the band a front-runner in the Celtic music genre today. Gaelic Storm previously performed at the Lowell Summer Music Series during its 2005 season.
