About
Formed in 2003 in Colorado. POTCHEEN has performed over 3000 shows all across the USA.
They deliver their rapid fire high energy shows mixing Celtic Rock
infused with Bluegrass, Cajun-Zydeco, Punk, Folk & Americana rolled up
with a Pirate Sensibility.
Fiddle led ensembles with driving percussion, these full throttle shows will have you dancing in the aisles, singing and clapping along. Feel good music that will get folks out of their seats and going home with a smile on their faces
"Potcheen is the ultimate party band. Potcheen is the Irish word for moonshine, the raw whiskey that comes from an illicit still, and
this music is as raw and real as it gets. The band plays pub standards, favored by every Irish band to hoist a pint, but they play them
with energy, enthusiasm, and expertise. Every one of these people is an accomplished musician. Together they hold crowds in the
palm of their collective hand with some of the finest Celtic rock you're ever likely to encounter."
— Michael Thompson, Denver Celtic Music Examiner
