Spoon solos, bagpipe chimes, accordion drones, harmonica hums, guitar strums, and fiddle bows filled the intimate space of the Culture Room on January 12.<\/p>\n<p>Brewing with anticipation well before the first act even left the stage, the crowd was ready too. With cup-fulls of Guinness they welcomed the down-to-earth Celtic rock band to the stage.<\/p>\n<p>The show began with oldie but goodie \u201cJohnny Jump Up\u201d off of Gaelic Storm\u2019s first album in 1998. Lead singer Patrick Murphy shined as a striking and theatrical storyteller, framing an Irish country music atmosphere in the venue, highlighted by playful folk undertones.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThis is a sexy song, more sexier than Ricky Martin,\u201d Murphy said as he introduced the next number, \u201cBorn to be a Bachelor.\u201d This second tract heightened the already jovial tenor of the performance.<\/p>\n<p>Prepping the audience before each number with an anecdotal explanation of the song\u2019s origin, Murphy even prompted the crowd to join along in singing the familiar notes.<\/p>\n<p>Fans definitely responded, erupting in bursts of hurrah during \u201cRum Runner,\u201d \u201cRaised on Black and Tans,\u201d and the crowd favorite, \u201cThe Night I Punched Russell Crowe.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Gaelic Storm evened the night out with tunes from their latest album, \u201cCabbage,\u201d released in August of 2010. Cabbage, their eighth album, reached the number nine spot on the iTunes charts.<\/p>\n<p>Reviewed by Alex Roland<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p><strong>Gaelic Storm<\/strong><br \/>\n1\/12\/2011<br \/>\nEvent Rating: \u2605\u2605\u2605\u2605\u2606<br \/>\nVenue: Culture Room (Fort Lauderdale, FL)<\/p>\n<p>Gaelic Storm came prepared.
