Panida welcomes Gaelic Storm today

It's hard to imagine a band just coming into their own after 20 years of success, but that’s exactly what makes Gaelic Storm a true anomaly. 

Now, the community will get a chance to experience the multi-national band in person as Gaelic Storm performs today at 7:30 p.m. at the Panida Theater.

Always a great show, the Celtic juggernaut is growing stronger with each live performance, and as you can imagine, after two decades and over 2000 shows, it is a true force to be reckoned with. The band appeared in the 1997 film "Titanic," performing "An Irish Party in Third Class," recorded songs on the movie's soundtrack album, and has released more than a dozen of their own albums.

With its latest release, "Go Climb a Tree", Gaelic Storm's music has never sounded more representative of themselves as musicians and as live performers.

To put it mildly, the talent of this band has not gone unnoticed across the music industry. Recently, Gaelic Storm has toured and collaborated with country superstar and entrepreneur Zac Brown. In fact, the band will be supporting the Zac Brown Band for its huge New Years Eve show in Atlanta this December. Fans can view dozens of collaborations with Brown on YouTube performing both Celtic and country songs. 

The band attributes their continued success to their fanatic audience, and it’s a well-diversified crowd for sure. The country-music folks adore the storytelling, the bluegrass-heads love the instrumentals, Celtic fans love their devotion to tradition, and the rockers simply relish the passion they play their instruments with. Each band member, in their own way, expresses a deep gratitude for their fans, but it’s best summed up in the words of Patrick Murphy: “The fans are the ones that have given us this life. We’re here for them.”
