The Biffos

The Biffos (Formally O'Carroll's Gate) [band website]

A genuine crowd pleaser, The Biffos are a must see! Prior to forming The Biffos, Brian O'Carroll was part of local Celtic groups including Black Ashling, Keltic Cowboys, Splinter, and Carroll MacGreggor. Brian has toured in Europe and Asia and has performed at major venues such as the Milwaukee Irish Fest and Teluride. He is joined by Gary Diekmann on bass guitar and vocals, Tony Maslowicz on drums, and Robyn Fisher on fiddle. The Biffos form of Celtic Rock is heavily influenced by Celtic rock bands such as the Saw Doctors and the Waterboys.

Traveler

Traveler is best known for their unique fusion of world music and emotionally intense stage performances. Their vision is to fuse the best of cultures: Flamenco Guitar, Gypsy and Celtic Violin, Greek Bouzouki, Arabic Oud and Keyboard, Heavy Middle Eastern Percussion and Vocal Melodies that range throughout. This original mix of old world and ethnic styles keeps audiences intrigued. It is evident by the crowd attendance and response that the music of Traveler is music for a new age.

Tempe's Keltic Cowboys are one amazing band. And anyone who disagrees can kiss this dude's Irish ass.... who could ask for more? If you enjoy the sounds of The Skels, Ceann, and Young Dubliners you love the Keltic Cowboy's.

A talented and seasoned live band, the group has played more than 2,000 shows since its inception. The Scones pride themselves on their impressive dedication to songcraft and a work ethic rivaling that of any big-time pop star, and have taken their sound to many major U.S. cities, Germany and to Shears’ native England. They put on a great show playing largely British pop/rock from groups like the Beatles, Blur, Oasis as well as their own UK influenced smash hits. Watching a Scones show makes a great evening even better.
