The Warsaw Poland Brothers play traditional Celtic songs but with a Ska twist. Warsaw Poland Bros. have played everywhere, with everyone in most of North America and Hawaii, while releasing several nationally distributed cd's fueled by their own indie start up label, Invisible Mass Records. Warsaw's dedication to a hobby-job-lifestyle has been, and will continue to be the driving force to perform live, coast to coast, towns to cities, day after night, mixing and releasing albums along the way. The brothers say, “When Warsaw comes to town, you'll be dancing, drinking, and partying with a zeal you never knew you had, so you might as well call in sick, because they'll be coming around soon...” See Website. |

- "Potcheen holds the essence of good Irish music, and package it in what they call “pirate-punk-folk-rock.” And their audience obviously agreed. Everyone from little children to their parents, middle aged and older couples and everyone in between was up and dancing by the end of their performance. For sheer mind-blowing audience interaction, these people are second to none." -denver celtic music examiner See website. |
