TITANIC Band Gaellic Storm in St. Louis September 5th, Five Days Before Blu-ray release
Gaelic Storm is a Celtic band. Their music includes traditional Irish music, Scottish music, and original tunes in both the Celtic and Celtic rock genres. And we’ve all seen them perform! That’s right, Gaelic Storm was the band in the 1997 James Cameron blockbuster TITANIC that got Kate and Leo dancing in the steerage performing “An Irish Party in Third Class”. That was them !!! This catapulted Gaelic Storm into touring, where they were met with extreme success and popularity.
We’ve got some great news for fans of TITANIC and St. Louis fans of Gaelic Storm. First, TITANIC will finally be released on Blu-ray September 10th and will contain over 6 Hours of Special Features with 58 minutes of Never Before Seen Footage . The new high definition digital transfer of the feature is spread over two discs to get the highest possible picture and sound quality.
For St. Louis fans who want to get into the Titanic mood, Gaelic Storm will be performing at The Old Rock House on Wednesday September 5th. Doors open at 7pm, the show starts at 8pm. Tickets are $25 Advance or $28 Day of the Show. All ages are welcome. The Old Rock House is located at 1200 7th Boulevard, St. Louis, MO 63104.
Gaelic Storm steps back into Chicken Boxer, a heavyweight record that comes out swinging with a mix of empowering anthems and traditional ballads. With catalog sales of more than 1 million, the group has now had three albums debut at #1 on the Billboard World Albums Chart, 2008′s What’s the Rumpus?, 2010′s Cabbage, which remained parked in the top slot for three consecutive weeks, and 2012′s Chicken Boxer. Chicken Boxer is the fifth album to be released on the band’s own label, Lost Again Records, and showcases the incomparable songwriting and accomplished musicianship of a band that has made their mark bringing fans to their feet two hundred days per year. The group’s ability to deftly incorporate a rock sensibility into their sound affords them rare crossover appeal. In recent years, they’ve performed on the same bill with acts ranging from Zac Brown Band and the Goo Goo Dolls to Emmylou Harris and Lyle Lovett, at events as varied as the Telluride Bluegrass Festival and Milwaukee’s Summerfest. With their signature acoustic production, Gaelic Storm blends indie-folk and world grooves with Celtic tradition to serve up a ringside seat for fifteen rounds of pugilistic poultry pounding sound. In other words, Chicken Boxer will knock you out.
