If you take AC/DC and load them up on Guinness and whisky...you'd get Prydein. They are a high-energy band that draws a crowd of all ages to their shows. The simple fact is, they love to perform and often play to a mix of high school students and elementary aged children, teenagers and elderly couples. Their appeal is universal. Their sound...celtic rock on the next level. Call

It was a shared love of music making and writing with local bands that brought Mike Stone and Steve Mitchell together in the 1980s. Stone's lyrics were the perfect match for Mitchell's unique music, and together they formed Buzz'n'Bee Music to underscore a Granada TV series in the style of Clannad. They put together a CD and called it Soul Path. Thus...their sound was born.

The Sheridan Band is a group that literally grew up together. In fact, they were often asked to play their music at various family and community events. But their high-energy traditional Celtic music soon caught the attention of others. Performing live is their specialty and they have been invited to perform from Northern Ontario right down to Michigan. While traditional Celitc

Every year for St. Patrick's Day, I compile a new list of St Patrick's Day MP3 downloads that are 100% free and legal. This year, I decided to present them in a new format.

Loren Davidson's music is best described as contemporary folk music with tropical attitude, Jimmy Buffett meets John Prine, Celtic meets Caribbean by way of Key West. His lyrics range from humorous to incisive, articulate yet heartfelt. Loren's musical influences range from the classical and calypso music played at home during his youth and adolescence to folksingers such as Pete Seeger, James

They play poppy rock music with a little weirdness thrown in. We started in 2003 when Xander and Charlie decided to start a quirky pop band. Charlie recruited Renee, and Xander recruited Joe. We rehearsed for more than a year before playing our first show. In early 2005 we somehow managed to record our first EP, Seven Cliques, which we’re still in the process of mixing.

Limbeck drives all these sun-drenched highways and byways, combining the dusty bramble of country-tinged rock with the best of propulsive power pop. But they’ve got another card up their sleeves. The band records in Kansas with that master of the Lawrence sound, Ed Rose. This not only puts them in touch with the Midwestern bittersweet pop grandeur of groups like Kill Creek, but lets them take a

Albuquerque, NM's the Shins began in 1997 as the side project of singer/songwriter and guitarist James Mercer's primary band Flake.

If those Gregorian chant discs seem a little, well, limited lately, perhaps it's time to move on to something equally spiritual but a bit more harmonically interesting. This disc, well-performed by the Robert Shaw Festival Singers, and conducted by the legendary choral leader, features a ravishing score by Rachmaninoff and is sung a capella, as is all Orthodox church music.

The volatile SM who sang "Water and a Seat" as if he were Muhammad Ali extolling his punch and shuffle is missing.

Not so much a band as a sweet odyssey to the center of the heart, the often chaotic MERCURY REV formed in Buffalo in the late 1980's. Consistently solar-powered by Jonathan Donahue (vocalist/acoustic guitar), Grasshopper (moth-light guitars, etc.), Jeff Mercel (drums/piano) with Dave Fridmann (bass explore, telescope, knob twiddler), they have been hard at work recording a new album.

Blending genres from classical to metal, we are like no others. The band was the brain child of Shelly and Christine, both accomplished performers. Adam joined, bringing with him a bit of metal edge.

Referred to as a mix of The Killers and U2, these five musicians create a sense of passion and depth in their music that is seldom found in today’s rock.
