"Barnacles on the Hull" by Bote

Bote is a trio that has been largely influenced by some of the finest bands who perform sea chanties. This acoustic folk-rock band incorporates hints of music from the maritime and Celtic isles. Their live performances are incredible. And their music was made popular by the bands they have been inspired by.

Bote is currently working on producing their first studio album.

"Loud Pipes (Save Lives)" by Prydein

If you take AC/DC and load them up on Guinness and whisky...you'd get Prydein. They are a high-energy band that draws a crowd of all ages to their shows. The simple fact is, they love to perform and often play to a mix of high school students and elementary aged children, teenagers and elderly couples. Their appeal is universal. Their sound...celtic rock on the next level. Call it what you will, but fans call it fun. Their music will definitely keep you entertained and on your feet.

"The Kitchen Set" by Slane

Slane isn't the same band it used to be. It first began in 2004 as a four-piece folk group that performed mostly traditonal tunes. For two years, this is how the band was defined. After that, it changed into an original and acoustinc rock band, containing only one of the four original members. The band had now contained seven pieces, and was far more musically invovled than when it began.

Finally, Slane came into its own. The band now contains only two people, the ones who originally started the band. They record at long distances, creating a few solo numbers working on adding a third member. Big things are in store for this band. Keep an eye on them.

"The Kitchen Set" by Slane

For four years now, Slane has been playing music together. Now that they have found their nitche and their vibe, they consider themselves to be at the top of their game. The band has not been without their share of obsticals. Front man, Tom Keeley, has done a lot of solow work and recording on his own. In addition, Keeley had to reform Slane twice in its tenure, due to members leaving to different states or to persue other careers.

None of this got them down. And four years later, they have a traditional style to their music, but have added their own eclectic taste. In fact, it is their hope to have their first CD out very soon.

"The Polka Set" by Wild Clover Band

The Wild Clover Band was formed back in 2000 as a house band for a local brewery in Kearney, Neb. Over the years, they grew to be quite popular, not only in Nebraska, but also in surrounding states. Their style of music: traditional Irish music...with a twist. Their style fuses the traditional sound with jazz, bluegrass, funk and rock styles without losing any of the acoustic flavor.
