2019-03-15 FREE DOWNLOADS - CELTIC CURSE

Celtic Curse is a Celtic rock band from Yucca valley, California.

Not formed-but evolved. Celtic Curse has risen from several projects to make it what it is today, and what it will become tomorrow. Hailing from the hills o’ Yucca Valley, Celtic Curse puts together many years of experience to bring you it’s own unique style of Celtic Rock. From the time honored Come out ye Black and Tans to the original Working Man Song, The Curse will deliver the energy needed to carry on the fight.

Set as a Four piece band, Celtic Curse keeps the arrangements to the basics. Much like our granddads before us, only so much is needed in a song to carry the message. With influences like Dropkick Murphys, The Pogues, Young Dubliners, Off-Kilter, etc… it is easy to understand the philosophy of the Celtic Curse.

So fire up the band, we’re gonna’ get drunk again. We’re drinking until every thing’s all right

Line-up:

Kevin Shannon - Guitar, Bass, Banjo, Tin Whistle, Vocals

Lyle Bush - Bass, Guitar, Vocals

Melanie Shannon - Vocals, Autoharp, Bodhrán, Tambourine, Fiddle

2019-01-12 NAME YOUR PRICE DOWNLOAD - GREEN SPIRIT

Green Spirit offers a special blend of soulful Irish melodies and lively pub music, and does this in a fairly unique instrumentation. The cello and the bodhrán, the fiddle and the fife all hold the promise of a thoroughly enjoyable evening.

The band was founded six years ago, on a windy Sunday in October. The members hail from all around Hungary, possess very diverse musical backgrounds, and have met in a small rehearsal room on that fateful day by no more than pure happenstance.

The harmony that is present in Green Spirit doesn't only exist on stage, but beyond music as well. The inspired and energetic music-making is backed by mutual respect and care and, of course, a willingness to make a tremendous party anytime and anywhere; in a train's buffet car en route to Transylvania, or in an upscale pub in Switzerland.

Green Spirit has shared the stage with The Rumjacks, Paddy and the Rats, Jolly Jackers, Highland Bastards, The Crazy Rogues, Punk Whiskey or Rapalje.

BTW, Júlia and Dominika are members of The Scarlet too.

2018-10-21 NAME YOUR PRICE DOWNLOAD - THE KING'S BUSKETEERS "Boston to Belfast-The Bedroom Sessions"

The King’s Busketeers is a folk band from Massachusetts that began when three friends from King Richard’s Faire decided to play a gig together, adding American folk songs and spirited originals to the traditional English, Scottish, and Irish songs they sang at the Faire. The trio gradually blossomed into a full-fledged band, taking on new talent and new adventures across New England, wowing old friends, and drawing new fans into an ever-growing, enthusiastic audience. The band is composed of Sam Atwood, Josh Gannon-Salomon, and Andrew Prete. The Busketeers cultivate a high-energy, soulful folk sound with rich vocal and instrumental harmonies, a refreshing blend of tenderness and humor, and enough foot-stomping, bone-shaking power to lift the lid of a venue clean off!

"We are The King's Busketeers, a high-octane folk group from Massachusetts (and a little bit Rhode Island)! We make traditional songs from the British Isles and North America shake the rafters, with some bardic acapella hollering and floor-stomping originals added in for flavor. Come, friend, and have a listen!"
