Reilly - Kick Ass Celtic Christmas CD |
Long time fixtures on the Paddy Rock, Midwest Irish/Celtic tour circuit, the Milwaukee based group Reilly play high energy Celtic Rock featuring a collision of accordion, banjo, mandolin and fiddle, fused with hard driving rhythms banging out on the drums, bass and electric guitar. “Kick Ass Celtic Christmas” is their Guinness soaked, bar tested, revved up versions of your favorite Christmas classics. Finally, Irish/Celtic Christmas music that really rocks with fun, heartfelt sincerity!
“Irish/Celtic Rock is much more than just fiddles, bagpipes, and boozin'. The Celtic culture expands into Spain (the 7th Irish nation of Galicia), North Africa, Eastern Europe (the bouzouki originated in Greece), the Middle East, and mountain Appalachia (banjos migrated and were tuned/strung/picked differently). Thus, our album is about more than leprechauns and pots o' gold, it’s a fun, rocking variation based on authentic Celtic history.” - Reilly
