Seven Nations Rocking On!
New York based Celtic Rock band Seven Nations can fuse their sound successfully into Modern Rock radio format. The name is based on the seven Celtic nations namely : Ireland, Scotland,Wales, Cornwall, Brittany and Galicia. Strong vocals ( if you dig Lifehouse and Creed) and tight musicianship mark their every song.
Seven Nations follows the blaze set by Waterboys and Simple Minds. These guys grew up listening to Celtic music which explains the style of their music. The tunes are very catchy. They’ve released a couple of albums. If you want to include them in your growing album collection, then visit their official site http://www.sevennations.com . Include your selves in the newsletter and also check tour dates. You can also listen to their songs via their official MySpace page.
Carlos Nunez Website
I am a fan of Carlos Núñez music. This talented musician from Galicia Spain has a lot of achivements under his belt. He is well-known in playing the gaita or Galician bagpipe. Galicia and Asturia are the only regions in Spain that have strong Celtic culture. Learn more in his official site http://www.carlos-nunez.com
