Since appearing and performing in the blockbuster movie and soundtrack, "Titanic," Gaelic Storm has released three more CDs, "Herding Cats" and "Tree," a mixture of Irish classics combined with originals from the band, and "Special Reserve." The last CD is a compilation of some of their favorites plus three new songs.
For the past several years, the band has been playing at more than 100 venues each year, including many college campuses. They have drawn massive crowds at Milwaukee�s Irish Fest, Celtic Fest Chicago, the Dublin Ohio Irish Festival, and the Festival Interceltique in Lorient, France. Patrick Murphy of Cork City, Ireland, is co-founder of Gaelic Storm with New Yorker Steve Wehmeyer. Vocalist Wehmeyer plays the digeridoo and bodhran and singer/songwriter Murphy plays piano, accordion, harmonica and spoons. Additional players include Ryan Lacey on percussion, Canadian Tom Brown on bagpipes, and Steve Twigger plays guitar, mandolin and bouzouki.
