Síocháin at Fionn MacCool's August 16, 2008

Preliminary Irish Toast Contest for Irish Fest!! Good practice for the official event on September 13th to pick the finalists to compete at Irish Fest for a trip to Ireland. $3.50 Jameson and Fionn Gingers!!
If Síocháin had been a heavy metal group in the 80’s, a radio commercial would have said something like “Storming across North America like a Celtic juggernaught stomping arenas like bugs”. Thankfully that never happened and even with the incredible success this five-piece group from Indianapolis has had in their three years of existence, their down home and friendly demeanor would never allow it.
The pronunciation of the band’s name is quite simple. Phonetically it is “Shee’–a–kawn” with the emphasis on the first syllable. Once you say a couple times, you will not forget it – nor will you forget their sound once you hear them play.
The combination of the members’ experience and musical styles creates a group that knows contemporary music but keeps a tight grasp on their Celtic roots. This makes Síocháin one of the most versatile and talented bands playing on tour.
Playing over 100 dates a year from Pennsylvania to Missouri, Síocháin brings an element that very few groups can, the sheer love of performing and involving the audience. The last time a band had this much fun on stage, Van Halen still had David Lee Roth.
Already a headliner at several Irish Festivals and a staple at numerous Irish pubs in the Midwest, the future is wide open.
With their first CD, “Disturbing The Peace” already selling briskly both at live shows and through iTunes and a second CD in the works, Síocháin is on the verge of a major career breakthrough.
Do not miss the opportunity to bring Síocháin to your venue or event. When the night is done, each person that was there singing along, clapping or dancing will go home with a fond memory and look forward to their next appearance.
Hear from some of their partners...

“Síocháin is without doubt one of our most popular bands to grace the stage at TJ Maloney’s. Every time they play its standing room only.
