St. Louis is known for its hearty Irish and Americana music scenes, but no group in town bridges the gap like Joe Stickley and Sean Canan.

The Irish have landed! In a prelude to the St. Patrick’s Day celebration this Saturday, Gaelic Storm brought the feeling of a good old rowdy Irish pub to the Pageant on Thursday night.

The September 3, 2011 edition of Harvest Sessions featured a return performance by Misla.

The Bob Dylan news site, Expecting Rain, reports that Jack Hardy has passed away at the age of 63. Very sad news.

On Saturday night, Soulard's Mardi Gras crowd streamed into the Pageant, weary but hungry for more revelry at the sold-out Dropkick Murphys concert. The 4-piece opening band, Against Me! -- with its head-rattling rhythm, chugging guitars and politically pointed lyrics -- breathed a second wind into an eager audience.

Over the years, Ian Walsh and Kevin Buckley have developed reputations as young maestros of Irish music. But as their recent duo album Keeping It Reel makes plain, they've got more than tradition up their sleeves.

The hard-working team of Brian Fitzgerald and Martin McCormack has been making Celtic and country influenced folk rock for 2 decades. Not only does Switchback deliver gorgeous vocals backed with mandolin, guitar and bass, but the band also gives back to the communities where it entertains.

Like a swirled ice cream cone, Joe Stickley and Sean Canan's music melts together two unique tastes to create one sweet combination. The charming melodies featured during this live session for the Other One sample flavors of both the Irish folk and American roots music used to make the duo's new foot-tapping CD, Loaded to the Gunwales.

Legendary Greenwich Village song-guru Jack Hardy brought his wit and wisdom to the studios of KDHX. Hardy's mythic, Celtic-influenced music has a legacy stretching from the '70s to the present.
