Gaelic Storm Puts a New Spin on "The Irish Rover"

A centuries-old Irish folk song, "The Irish Rover," is being re-released digitally today, March 12, 2021, with a new spin by multinational award-winning Celtic group, Gaelic Storm. "The Irish Rover" is also featured on the group's nine-song collection of newly recorded traditional Irish songs entitled, "One For The Road" available for pre-order here.

The CD's release coincides with Gaelic Storm's livestream concert, "One For The Road," scheduled for March 17 at 8:00pm ET. Sponsored by Cider boys, concert tickets are $20 and available here. Limited edition merch bundles will be also available in advance and during the livestream here.

Purchase/stream the new single here.

Produced by founding band member Steve Twigger, a very limited supply of CDs will include individual notes personalized and autographed by each band member. All songs on "One For The Road" will be released to streaming services later in 2021. During the livestream concert (the band’s third livestream since the Pandemic began) fans will have the opportunity to donate to the Gaelic Storm Crew and Save Our Stages.

"We have selected some of our favorite traditional songs that we grew up listening to and played in the early days when the band first started," commented Gaelic Storm's Patrick Murphy. "We have finally decided to record eight of these songs and a new instrumental track called 'The Frozen Pipes'." Gaelic Storm blends Celtic, folk, country and rock. They have been headlining major Celtic/Irish St. Patrick's Day concerts for the past two decades, as well as entertaining fans at sold-out shows both nationally and abroad.
