Banshee in the Kitchen
Banshee In The Kitchen plays Celtic music with eclectic skill and merry abandon. Touring and recording since 2002, this group has delighted audiences in festivals, theaters, living rooms, and countless other venues from New York to Los Angeles, and as far as Japan. They take traditional Celtic tunes, find the sweet spot between old and new, stirring it all up with trademark playfulness and musicality they term “banshee-fying”…

The band Whiskey Galore evolved in 1997 as a result of friendship and a deep passion for Celtic music between Mike Bowen and Kevin Briley. With the addition of Jeff Davis in 2002 this duo became a trio. Bassist Rich Spencer joined the band in 2004, making the band a quartet. Our sound was filled out even further in 2024 when we were joined by Rich Cheny and Mike Nicholas. We are frequently supported by the lovely singing voice of piper Kevin’s wife Kristin.
The band is based in Bakersfield, California; their motto is “13th Century Heavy Metal”.
Whiskey Galore’s spirited brand of music has stirred fans in various venues in California and Nevada.
Whiskey Galore is a mix of raw and technical musical talent, blended together, producing lively Celtic music that can not be rivaled.
