2025 Band Lineup
MUDMEN
Always entertaining and undeniably unique, Mudmen deliver a high-energy blast of Celtic rock, led by musicians known as much for their onstage charisma as their offstage stories.
Mudmen have toured and shared stages with legends including The Guess Who, The Irish Rovers, The Chieftains, ZZ Top, Kim Mitchell, Nazareth, Johnny Reid, and more. Their music has been featured on Xbox and PlayStation games, HBO’s Shameless, WWE, MuchMusic/MTV, and Hockey Night in Canada. Career highlights include performing for the Queen of England on Parliament Hill, multiple Grey Cups and Memorial Cups, Canada’s Walk of Fame ceremonies, and national broadcasts across CBC and NBC.
With 11 studio albums, over 3,000 shows in eight countries, and a reputation best summed up in one word—fun—Mudmen continue to prove why Johnny Reid calls them “Canada’s best-kept secret.” As NHL great Glenn Healy puts it: you won’t want to miss this show.
Celtic Standard Time
Celtic Standard Time, a high-energy, acoustic instrumental trio based in D/FW, plays traditional Irish, Scottish, Cape Breton and French Canadian music. Throughout the past three years the original band members, world class violinist KeyReel Raskolenko and premier guitarist Alex Hand, have appeared regularly at Sundance Square in downtown Fort Worth music series, and have made guest appearances at a number of local festivals, including the North Texas Irish Festival, Fort Worth Arts Festival and the Decatur Celtic Festival. Always expanding the range and breadth of their music, Celtic Standard Time has recently brought top D/FW bodhran player, Rick Holt, on board.
Waxie Dargles
Blending Celtic tradition with the fiery spirit of Oklahoma’s Red Dirt music scene, the Waxie Dargles deliver high-energy performances that are sure to ignite the stage and your hearts. With driving rhythms, soaring fiddle lines, and rowdy singalongs, they bring the spirit of the Irish pub straight to the American heartland. Their sound fuses ancient ballads with modern grit, offering a fresh take on Celtic-Americana folk-rock that’s as authentic as it is electrifying. From festival stages to rowdy pubs and honky-tonks, the Waxie Dargles are a force of musical mayhem built for big crowds and an unforgettable experience!
River Driver
River Driver’s diverse and unique repertoire of Americana folk rock, combined with their electrifying live performances, captivates audiences from the first note. Whether charging into the crowd mid-song or leaping from table to table in lively pub gigs, fiddler Shelly New and guitarist Michael Logan exude energy that’s impossible to resist—sparking dancing, clapping, singing, and celebratory cheers from every corner of the room. Their diverse repertoire spans from Hank Williams to Guns N’ Roses, weaving bluegrass, Cajun, Texas country, Celtic, and Americana folk into a unique, high-energy tapestry. With creative arrangements, powerhouse vocals, and screaming fiddle solos, River Driver guarantees an unforgettable experience!
