Title
The Volunteers - American Celtic
Description
The Volunteers is South Florida's only original Celtic rock band. In their electric rock'n'roll stage-show, they are a full-throttle, guitar-driven, runaway locomotive. As Miami's New Times has put it: "From their first bottle-rattling gig at Churchill's, it's been no secret that the Vols are a great party band ... Put this crew and free-flowing alcohol in a club setting and you never know what will happen next ... This is a band capable of raising the roof in the best Celtic tradition."
In their kinder, gentler, acoustic show, seated on stage comfortably around a whisky-bottle-topped table, they lay down the electric guitars and drums in favor of the fiddle and the penny whistle, with lyrics and vocal harmonies to the fore. This is the best way to hear and enjoy the stories in what the band calls: "the 19th Century Scots-Irish folk songs that we wrote last week."
The Volunteers have played every original music venue in Miami including the late, great Stephen Talkhouse on South Beach (where they shared bills with the Battlefield Band from Scotland and world-famous bluegrass fiddler, Vassar Clemens), Rose's, The WallFlower, Power Studios and Churchill's - which they once again packed out until the wee hours at their CD Release Party. The Volunteers have raucous nights to their credit at pubs as diverse as Molly Malone's in North Miami and Dan Marino's at CocoWalk. They have rocked the packed-out upstairs room at Tobacco Road and soothed a folkie audience, unplugged, live, on National Public Radio, WLRN 91.3.
