Billboard world chart-topping Gaelic Storm, a multi-national, Celtic juggernaut grows stronger with each live performance, and after more than two decades of touring they are a true force to be reckoned with.

On Thursday, June 11, the band will storm back to the Boothbay Harbor Opera House for what has become an early summer tradition – the arrival of Patrick Murphy and his band mates and new stories along with rocking Celtic music.

The band attributes their continued success to their fanatic audience, and it’s a well-diversified crowd. They routinely attract audiences of every genre with their rich storytelling, energetic instrumentals, devotion to Celtic traditions and passion for their stagecraft. Gaelic Storm takes a true blue-collar, hard-nose approach to touring, consistently traveling the US and internationally forging a unique path in the Celtic music world. “You have to see us live. We are the true working-man’s’ band,” says longtime member Ryan Lacey. “We still, and most likely always will, tour most of the year, and that’s how we constantly hone our craft.”

Gaelic Storm kicked off its career as a pub band in Santa Monica, California. A performance in the pub led to their discovery by the film industry that ultimately found the band cast and appearing in the blockbuster film, Titanic, where they performed “Irish Party in Third Class." This laid the groundwork for a career that has found them topping the Billboard World Chart six times, making appearances at mainstream music festivals, and regularly headlining the largest Irish Festivals across the country, all while gaining a reputation as a genre-bending Irish rock band whose songs mix Celtic traditions with something uniquely creative.

The band returns to the Opera House stage with thanks to generous sponsorship support from First Federal Savings & Loan. Advance discounted tickets, $35, are currently on sale at the box office, 86 Townsend Ave., Boothbay Harbor. Regular tickets, $40, available at https://boothbayoperahouse.com/
