After nearly two decades and more than 3,000 live shows, the chart-topping multinational band Gaelic Storm is looking sharper than ever with their latest release, "Matching Sweaters." As usual, the new album mixes traditional Irish music with modern influences, creating a sound that's as wide-ranging as the band's own audience. From bluegrass fans and country cowboys to Deadheads, rock & rollers, and Celtic fanatics, Gaelic Storm has built one of the most diverse fan bases in modern music. "Matching Sweaters" helps explain the broad appeal. Rooted in the songwriting of founding members Patrick Murphy and Steve Twigger, the album moves from drinking songs ("Another Stupid Drinking Song") to energetic instrumentals ("The Narwhaling Cheesehead") to rootsy pop/rockers ("Whiskeyed Up and Womaned Out"), gluing everything together with the spark and spirit of a band that's spent close to 20 years on the road. Gaelic Storm's music weaves influences from rock, bluegrass, Jamaican, African, and Middle Eastern music that may surprise those expecting purely traditional Celtic music. They make new Celtic music for today's world! Gaelic Storm's fiddler is local prodigy Kiana June Weber—come on out and welcome her home.
