"The Sign of the Cross" by Kevin Flynn & The Avondale Ramblers

Traditional Irish music was their main influence, yet the songs and music of Kevin Flynn and the Avondale Ramblers are anything but traditional. In fact, the key to their unique sound is taking traditional Celtic/Gaelic music and expanding on it, finding their own sound...and presenting it in a new and interesting way. This Chicago-based band also does something different when it comes to their tunes. Lyrically, these Irish-inspired songs are about Chicago, not Ireland, but hold fast to the themes of the working-class, religious, drunken, sometimes violent (yet always somewhat beautiful) aspects of their city.

What you see is what you get. What you get is a lot of talent and a lot of flavor when you listen to Kevin Flynn & The Avondale Ramblers.

"Excursion Around the Bay" by The Kreellers

The Kreellers are from Detroit. No...seriously! In fact, they get a lot of second-glances after people find out that's their hometown. Especially since their sound is described as a "blend of happiness, sadness, pissed off Irishmen, 2 kegs of Guinness, nitroglycerin, and buffalo wings. Shake 'em all together in a titanium bar shaker and serve with a glass of ice water and three Tylenol for the hangover."

The band was formed over 10 years ago by brothers Derek Wade and Paul Bruno. Their music is a blend of traditional Irish and original tunes...described as something akin to a runaway 1969 GTO fueled by nitrous and Guinness!

Pretty damn cool!

Between sets, they can be found sharing a few pints with everyone, having a blast, and even having a few impromptu a-cappella sessions long after the pubs lights shut off. Every band worth its salt does it for the fans. Not every band recognizes that the blend of self love with fan love creates a symbiotic relationship that transcends any barriers – no matter what the genre. This is the heart of The Kreellers. This is only the beginning.

Strap in, hang on, and scream loud.

"Canterbury" by Ceallach

She's a singer, a composer, an arranger, a performer and a producer. Walking in the footsteps of the women who inspired her, Ceallach likens her talents to those of Enya and Loreena McKennitt.

Ceallach has released two singles: "She Walks In Beauty," based off of the poem by Lord Byrons, as well as "For We are Many," a song that would be well-suited for a soundtrack for a feature film. With "Canterbury," Ceallach gives us a haunting filmscore. Her talent is amazing. Great things are coming for this Australian singer/composer.

This quartet of girls offers up one of the most intriguing and destinctive sounds in Celtic music, combining their complex harmonies with acoustic instruments.

These ladies truly do it all. They write their own music, play their own instruments, and write their own vocal arrangements. If that doesn't amaze you...trust me...their music will!

"Next Market Day" by Aisling

Aisling, a contemporary Celtic folk band from central Ohio, is making waves in the Celtic music scene. They got their start in 1997 and made their first live debut at the heavily attended Dublin Irish Festival in Dublin, Ohio. A variety of instruments go into their music, including hammer dulcimer, fiddle, flute, tin whistle, mandolin, bouzouki, guitar, banjo, uillean pipes and bodhran. Their music ranges from songs that will make you want to dance, to slow ballads to their own compositions. Their style is an interesting fusion of Celtic jazz and chamber music. Beautiful and unique.

"Real Deal Irish" by The Mighty Regis

They're from County Sligo. But now they've made their way to the U.S., finding themselves swept up in the pinnacle of Irish punk rock. The Mighty Regis Irish Show Band is as much a part of that circle as bands as big as Flogging Molly, who also found their start at Molly Malone's in Los Angeles. And this is only the band's first year together. Wow! Talk about accomplishment.

They are definitely one of the top Irish acts in the world.

Not only has this group shared the stage with other well known Celtic groups, but each member boasts impressive resumes all their own, having performed with stars in their own rights. Give them a listen. You're bound to like it.

"Lament of the Wolf" by Jacie McConnell

Jacie McConnell has quite a unique sound when it comes to playing and writing her music. In fact, her style has quite a Celtic Gypsy flair. This shouldn't be surprising, given her rather diverse musical background and her own natural skill. She's worth the listen, indeed!

"Púirt a' Beul" by Robbi McMillen

At 16 years old, Robbi McMillen is a Celtic music prodigy. He released his debut album at the age of 14. His sophomore album followed just last year. The new album has a similar style to the late works of Moya Brennan and Maighread Ni Dhomhnaill. While his acapella tracks remind listeners of Altan. McMillen is currently residing in Dublin.

"For We Are Many" by Ceallach

She's a singer, a composer, an arranger, a performer and a producer. Walking in the footsteps of the women who inspired her, Ceallach likens her talents to those of Enya and Loreena McKennitt. Her Celtic New Age music also tends to lean on World and Classical music as well. Ceallach has released two singles: "She Walks In Beauty," based off of the poem by Lord Byrons, as well as "For We are Many," a song that would be well-suited for a soundtrack for a feature film. Her talent is amazing. Great things are coming for this Australian singer/composer.
