Storm Website) - Gaelic
Storm will release their 5th album, "How Are We Getting Home?" on August 3rd, 2004. The new release will include 14 brand new tracks of the same unique "Gaelic Storm" flavor which has made them an international fan favorite. Co-writing with multiple Grammy-winning songwriters for the album, the material promises to be the strongest the band has written to date.
Recorded with producer Mark Miller (who has also worked with Garth Brooks, Emmylou Harris,
Daniel O'Donnell, Mary Black, Sean Keane, Dolores Keane) at legendary Jack's Tracks studio in Nashville, TN. Famed folk-songstress Nanci Griffith will also be making a featured appearance on the record.
Touring aggressively and showcasing their unique high energy Celtic music, playing over 125 dates a year, Gaelic Storm routinely breaks attendance and merchandise sales records, pushing their popularity beyond the World Music genre and into the mainstream music consciousness.
The band broke the attendance record previously held by Alan Jackson at the Albuquerque, NM, Bio-Park. Gaelic Storm has been chosen to perform on The Rock Boat 2004 along with Sister Hazel, Cowboy Mouth and Gavin Degraw. Gaelic Storm has been featured on ESPN's Cold Pizza.
They continue to headline some of the largest Celtic and Folk festivals in the world including Festival Interceltique in Lorient, Brittany, the Pittsburgh Irish Festival, Dublin Irish Festival and Celtic Fest Chicago.
With three popular albums already under their belt, Gaelic Storm released "SPECIAL RESERVE," a "best-of" collection that features favorites from Gaelic Storm's previous OmTown releases. "SPECIAL RESERVE" was released on August 19th, 2003 and reached No 2 on the Billboard World Music Charts in the second week of sales.
Long after their memorable appearance as the 'Irish party band' in James Cameron's "Titanic," and since the 1998 release of their self-titled first album, which reached No 5 on Billboard's World Music chart in 1998, Gaelic Storm continues to thunder onto stages around the world. Gaelic Storm continues to make headlines and dazzle audiences with their unique brand of high energy Celtic music, continuing their streak of chart topping success.
