Seven Nations

Before there were any of the countless Celtic rock bands that dot the festival landscape nowadays, there was Seven Nations. They've been called the best independent band in America, and have become the nation's most successful Celtic rock band of all time. With a passionate, tender, and rollicking style that winningly veers from roots and folk to dance and fusion-rock, Seven Nations has earned a solid reputation as an adventurous band with a charismatic stage presence. Seven Nations officially began in 1993 in New York City with a standard line-up of drums, guitars, and bass, but soon became one of the first acts to incorporate bagpipes into a rock setting, creating their trademark driving Celtic-based sound. The band has been touring full-time since 1994 with successful stops in Europe, Canada, Puerto Rico, and virtually every state in the US, and has garnered over quarter million units in record sales. In addition, Seven Nations has played the Winter Olympics in Salt Lake City, a New Year's Eve performance at Scotland's Royal Mile for some 40,000 people, and at the New York City Marathon. It's been over a decade and close to a million miles logged on the road for Seven Nations since their inception and they're just getting started. With a highly anticipated return to their roots of festivals, touring and recording, this indie band is poised for another amazing decade.
