Let’s take a look at the history of Gaelic Storm and explore what makes their music so unique. Gaelic Storm was formed in 1996 by Steve Wehmeyer and Patrick Murphy, who had met while studying at UCLA’s School of Music. Initially performing their unique brand of Irish-American Celtic music on the live scene in Los Angeles, they soon started touring internationally and soon attracted the attention of television producers. The Gaelic Storm band quickly developed a reputation for exciting live performances as well as for writing original material that mixed traditional Irish folk melodies with rock, country, alt-rock, and reggae rhythms.
Within two years of forming Gaelic Storm had made its first TV appearance on “The Drew Carey Show” by invitation from Carey himself after seeing the band perform live in LA. It was during this time that they released their debut album – “Bring Yer Wellies” – which went on to become one of the top 10 best-selling world Gaelic Storm albums in 1999 according to Billboard Magazine. The following year saw them perform at a sold-out show at Hollywood’s House Of Blues as well as a nomination for Best World Music Album at the 2000 Grammy Awards. This string of successes continued when they were invited to be part of the soundtrack for “Titanic: Music From The Motion Picture” which won both critical acclaim and several Oscars. Throughout the subsequent years Gaelic Storm has gone from strength to strength releasing many more successful albums including “Tree” (2002) which reached number 1 on several Billboard charts; “What’s The Rumpus? (2006).
Which debuted at number 4 on both iTunes New & Noteworthy & Amazon MP3; and their most recent self-titled album (which debuted at #1 on Billboard's World Music Chart). They have toured extensively throughout North America, Europe, Australia, and Asia with some notable performances including Glastonbury Festival and sessions for NPR's Live At Present Studios as well as appearing twice on ABC's hit show “Dancing With The Stars". Gaelic Storm has also won multiple awards over the years including Album Of The Year from Indie Acoustic Project; Entertainer Of The Year from Fireworks Magazine; Honorable Mention Group Of The Year from Irish American News; Winner Touring Artist Of The Year from Spiral Earth Awards along with several others over their long career – a testament to this incredible band's musicianship, ambition and dedication to entertaining audiences all over the world.
