Since their big-screen debut in the blockbuster film Titanic over ten years ago, the band's fan base continues to multiply with each new album, turning the one-time-pub-band into one of the premier touring acts in the Celtic/World music genre. Gaelic Storm's compelling original music and fresh arrangements are steeped in Celtic traditional melody and a unique blend of world rhythms. Highlights from their decade-spanning career include six Billboard Chart-topping albums, a DVD, a full-length concert film featured on HD.net, song placement on two EA Sports Games, a 2008 Hallmark greeting card featuring their song "Kiss Me I'm Irish", countless television and radio appearances, and of course, an appearance in James Cameron's Titanic. Gaelic Storm has sold out hundreds of theatres and performing arts centers and has now played to audiences totaling in the millions. Playing over 125 dates a year and topping the charts with all five of their albums, Gaelic Storm routinely breaks attendance records, pushing their popularity beyond the world music genre and into the mainstream music consciousness.
