IRISH VOLUNTEERS CIVIL WAR BAND
( CLICK ON LINK ABOVE)
The Sons of the Gaels are a Western New York based Celtic band. The core of the band have been on the Celtic scene
for over 13 years. They have performed in such venues as the Buffalo Irish Festival, Olcott Celtic Festival, Amherst
Scottish Festival, Riviera Theatre, Shannon Pub, Buffalo Irish Center, Lancaster Opera House, Kitty Hoynes and Coleman Irish
Pub in Syracuse and Milestones in Rochester among many, many others. The Sons of the Gaels are
an extremely versatile group. They are equally adept singing the traditional ballads of the Clancys and the pub favorites
and revel tunes, as well as a large assortment of traditional jigs, reels, polkas and waltzes and standard Irish-American
tunes. However, the Sons of the Gaels also plays the newer Celtic music of Great Big Sea, Gaelic Storm and more... Along
with the versatile musical instrumentation, where the Sons of the Gaels really shines is in it's powerful three part vocal
harmonies. From the sweet Scottish ballads and Irish love songs to the foot stomping tempos of the pub tunes...the Sons
of the Gels delivers a pleasing punch.
