CONJURE UP THAT DOWN HOME FEELING

Whether it be the storytelling and traditional nature of the Irish Rovers, or the energy and boisterousness of Great Big Sea, or the irreverence and chaos of The Pogues - one thing is certain - you're in for a good time with The Celtic Kitchen Party. While about half of the band’s setlist are traditional songs and covers — they’re known for adding a “Celtified” twist to popular and classic rock songs — the other half will be their own material, drawn from the band’s three records: Last Call, Lobster Tail and Beer, and Sociable!

Boasting a diversity of talent The Celtic Kitchen Party play a mix of traditional and contemporary East Coast, Irish and Scottish tunes as well as the right dash of Pop and Classic Rock! The name conjures up that down homer feeling where all your relatives and neighbors drop in for a traditional kitchen party, bringing a lively high energy performance to any venue for a night you and your guests are sure to remember.

All of the lads' energy and experience has culminated in three studio albums available in CD and DIGITAL through the band, and on all major platforms. These albums continue to be seated somewhere between original upbeat party tunes and beautiful storytelling to creative re-imaginings of traditional favourites.

So? What are you waiting for? Set your event apart - be prepared to dance and sing along to some of the best party music ever made. Period.

"We want to thank you guys for playing such amazing music at our wedding, you are all so talented. We've had so many compliments of our music and we couldn't have been happier with it! Besides that, you were unbelievable to work with, helping us select the music and alway getting back to our questions so quickly. We would recommend you to anyone, and truly appreciate your work, your music made our ceremony perfect." Jenna & Adam Nelson, Kingston ON

"The Celtic Kitchen Party delivered a fabulous variety of music and added a positive and upbeat atmosphere to the evening. We hired the band for their celtic/folk/country style of music and playing, which was fitting for our East Coast theme. The music was lively and the band was engaged and very interactive with the crowd. I highly recommend this band for future events and enjoyed every minute of their playing. They also showed incredible dedication as they played back-to-back events that evening supporting military" CFB, Petawawa
