About This Episode

The performance in this episode marks Gaelic Storm's 11th return
to Big Top. Regularly playing more than 120 shows a year, Gaelic
Storm has built one of the most diverse fan bases in modern music
from bluegrass fans and country cowboys to Deadheads, rock &
rollers and Celtic fanatics.


After nearly two decades and more than 3,000 live shows the
chart-topping, multi-national Celtic band is looking sharper than
ever. Their TWELFTH studio album "Matching Sweaters" delivers the
foot-stomping, eclectic mix of tunes that has established the
band as one of world music’s premier live acts. Says the
Pittsburgh Tribune, “Gaelic Storm is rock-flavored… music as
Irish as Guinness and Harp.”
