Mark your calendars for Seven Nations, playing Tuesday, July 15 at 8:30 PM, only at Nine Irish Brothers. (And be ready to call in sick on Wednesday). Seven Nations is a high-energy, kick-arse national Celtic Rock act. To summarize, Seven Nations has:
Toured 49 states and toured across Europe
Been featured in magazines ranging from Penthouse and Playboy to Rolling Stone, Billboard, Cigar Aficionado, Maxim, Stuff, FHM, and GQ

In other words, this is a MUST SEE BAND. Here are a few choice quotes about Seven Nations:
"Seven Nations could do for a Celtic and pop music mix what the Squirrel Nut Zippers did for rocked-up swing." - Denver Post
"Billed by Planet Radio DJs as the "Dave Matthews Band with bagpipes," the five man group takes rock and roll, Celtic, and folk music and turns them upside down." - Indie Music.com
Wow, what a discovery! Each song is laden with hooks and melodies that stick in your brain, thanks to songwriter Kirk McLeod, who pens the best lyrics since Phil Lynott. This is the stuff of legends." - Chaos Realm
"Seven Nations, which melds bagpipes and fiddles with blazing electric guitars and drums ... exited their tour bus and walked in to a standing ovation." - San Francisco Chronicle
