Free Celtic Geek Compilation. Get Your Copy!

Some bands give away 1-3 MP3s to promote their music. I’ve been doing this long enough to realize that just isn’t enough. If you really want to get to know someone’s music, you need a good album to listen to, freely, and on repeat. Then,  you’ll fall in love with it. That’s my philosophy anyway. […]

Irish & Celtic Music Podcast #247: St Patrick’s Day Playlist for Irish American Heritage Month

#245: Wind & Whiskey to Shake the Barley

The Irish & Celtic Music Podcast is not your typical Celtic radio program. Most play the same Celtic artists promoted by the top record labels. We focus on indie Celtic bands, the ones who don’t get played but are just as good. You’ll find them living in your town if you go looking. Great indie Celtic […]
