Gaelic Storm & The High Kings Come to the Van Wezel
March 6, 2023 – Sarasota
The Van Wezel Performing Arts Hall is excited to welcome Gaelic Storm & The High Kings to Sarasota on Wednesday, April 5, 2023 at 7:30 p.m. Tickets for Gaelic Storm & The High Kings – The Mighty Tour are on sale now.
It’s hard to imagine a band just coming into their own after 20 years of success, but that’s exactly what makes Gaelic Storm a true anomaly. This multi-national, Celtic juggernaut grows stronger with each live performance, and after two decades and more than 2000 shows, it is a true force to be reckoned with. With their latest release, “Go Climb a Tree,” their music has never sounded more representative of themselves as musicians and as live performers.
Gaelic Storm attributes their continued success to their fanatic audience, and it’s a well-diversified crowd for sure. The country-music folks adore the storytelling, the bluegrass-heads love the instrumentals, Celtic fans love their devotion to tradition, and the rockers simply relish the passion they play their instruments with. Each band member, in their own way, expresses a deep gratitude for their fans, but it’s best summed up in the words of Patrick Murphy: “The fans are the ones that have given us this life. We’re here for them.”
After 15 years at the top of their game, The High Kings are still selling out venues around the world to an ever-growing army of loyal fans. Having already surpassed a million listeners on Spotify as well as 2 platinum albums in their time, The High Kings are celebrating 15 years together by releasing 15 brand new tracks to their fans as well as a 27-date tour of the USA.
In their time together, The High Kings have charted across the world and performed for hundreds of thousands of fans, as well as in many prestigious situations including for the Prime Minister of England (2011), Barak Obama (2012) & George W. Bush (2009) at the White house and at The Pentagon (2015). Notable performances include Glastonbury, the Isle of Wight (3 times – headlining in 2015), Time Square, and also headlined the St. Patrick’s Day concert in Trafalgar Square London (2015).
