In 2001 a group of musicians from the Elmira- Corning Region began meeting up to play informal trad sessions in local pubs and coffee shops. Over the years the band evolved and began to play a more contemporary style, infusing the influences of other artists and genres to reflect the Irish-American experience. This resulted in a high energy, crowd pleasing style with all the elements loved in a traditional Irish band, a sound the band refers to as “Triple Distilled Celtic Rock".
Kilrush plays events and festivals across New York and Pennsylvania including the 2012 AOH/LAOH National Convention, Great American Irish Festival, Irish 2000, East Durham Irish Festival, Hooley on the Hudson, North Country Goes Green and more. The band has been honored to share the bill with well known international acts such as Gaelic Storm, Enter The Haggis, Scythian, and the Dublin City Ramblers to name a few.
Kilrush has released three full albums: “On This Shore” and “Keltoi Anam” which showcased the group’s traditional roots. “Spree”, released in 2015, showcases the band’s more contemporary sound and includes fan favorites such as “Lily’s Ghost” and “Banks Of The Margaree”. In 2010 Kilrush was featured on WSKG-TV’s “Expressions”, which aired across New York State.
