This is NOT your Grandpa’s Irish music. It's like Coffee and Bailey's with a stiff shot of Jagermeister and a Glenlivet chaser.
Bio / Background
The sound of Boru’s Ghost is an eclectic mix of acoustic rock, Celtic and folk music. While comparable to time-honored Celtic music, it is a refreshing and multifaceted blend. BG combines intelligent arrangements, driving rhythms, superb musicianship and complex vocal harmonies with such diverse rock influences as Black Sabbath, Pink Floyd and Fleetwood Mac.
Although the band has its roots deeply embedded in Celtic music, one may not even immediately recognize traditional music performed by this five piece band.
Their second CD, Rites of Passage includes inspired original compositions interspersed with thoughtfully arranged traditional songs. All include a distinctive style that is known among band mates and fans of BG as "Boruasizing." The following instruments were used to paint the canvas that is Rites: guitars, fiddle, bouzouki, mandolin, hammered dulcimer, Irish whistles, keyboard, bass guitar, bodhran, doumbeck, marching snare and a good old-fashioned electronic drum kit.
