Gaelic Storm brings Celtic Rock to EOH
EARLVILLE – You've probably heard of them already, but if not ... remember that band in the steerage class party scene of Titanic that almost made you want to dance along with Jack and Rose? Yep, that was Gaelic Storm! The band plays two shows at the historic Earlville Opera House on Saturday at 6 and 9 p.m.
For the past ten years, Gaelic Storm has taken traditional Irish melodies and acoustic instruments and created original songs and arrangements full of life and rhythm. Known for their energy-laden live performances, Gaelic Storm has become one of the most popular bands in Celtic music today.
They have toured all over the world, usually performing over 125 days a year, and have appeared with bands such as Cowboy Mouth, Tonic, Sister Hazel, Gavin Degraw, Better Than Ezra, and Marc Broussard.
Their five albums have all appeared on the Billboard World Music Chart and their most recent 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. In addition to recording and touring, the band's documentary regularly airs on Cinemax, and they have appeared numerous times on national and international television.
Founded in 1996 by Patrick Murphy and Steve Wehmeyer, the band now consists of the some of the best Celtic musicians today. Patrick Murphy of Cork City, Ireland plays piano, accordion, spoons, and harmonica and sings vocals. Steve Wehmeyer from New York plays the bodhran, didgeridoo, and sings vocals. Englishman Steve Twigger is featured on vocals, guitar, mandolin, and bouzouki. Percussionist Ryan Lacey graduated from the Los Angeles Music Academy and Pete Purvis from Ontario plays the uillean pipes, tin whistle, daeger pipes and highland pipes. Jessie Burns, Gaelic Storm’s new fiddle player has amazing talent and adds to the energy of the Gaelic Storm experience. She just joined the band a few months ago and has already proved herself a team player.

Come early to visit the East and West Gallery exhibitions of national quilts, our Artisan’s Gift Shop and our Arts Café.
