8:00 – 10:00 Gaelic Storm
In 1997, Gaelic Storm was catapulted out of their adopted hometown of Santa Monica, CA by an appearance as the party band in the blockbuster film Titanic. Met by huge crowds on their first tour, the band quickly became a live favorite in the celtic/world music genre by capturing the rowdy intimacy of a neighborhood pub and delivering it to thousands of fans. Gaelic Storm will release their sixth studio album, Bring Yer Wellies, on July 25, 2006, once again delivering their unique acoustic world/celtic sound with original songs crafted so tightly that they may well become standards.

Having come of age in Derry, Northern Ireland in the midst of the “troubles,” Fiona brings an emotion to her performance as few can do. She is a singer of traditional Irish songs and ballads who can make you laugh one moment and then bring a tear to your eye in the next..
