Athas and University of Limerick Partnership - SetMilwaukee Irish band Ã¡thas lights the dance floor on fire with a combination of traditional and newly composed Irish dance tunes. Fierce fiddle, driving bodhrÃ¡n, and funky guitar riffs come together to lift listeners' feet, drinks, and spirits. The band found each other and their voice as an ensemble while playing in Irish sessions around Milwaukee throughout 2005. Spending their time between tunes laughing and joking inspired them to make music together and their name, which is the Irish word for joy and happiness. Ã¡thas is: Heather Lewin: fiddle and vocals Amy Richter: bodhrÃ¡n and percussion Jeff Ksiazek: guitar, bouzouki, tin whistle Sarah Sheehan is a concertina player from County Clare, Ireland. She began playing concertina at a young age under the tutelage of Tim Collins and her playing is greatly influenced by Noel Hill, PÃ¡draig Rynne and CaitlÃn Nic Gabhann. She grew up immersed in traditional music and is regularly attending and performing in sessions around Ennis. Sarah has since become an accomplished performer, playing at gigs and festivals across Ireland and also in the UK. She has competed successfully in Fleadh Cheoil competitions both as a soloist and as part of grÃºpa cheoil and cÃ©ilÃ band competitions. Sarah has recently completed her final year of undergraduate study at the Irish World Academy, University of Limerick studying Irish Music and Irish. Kevin Shortall plays Irish bouzouki, electric and acoustic guitar, 7 string Brazilian guitar, cavaco, and tenor banjo. He grew up in Brazil to an Irish father and a Brazilian mother, under the influence of both cultures and has a BMus (Hons) degree in Jazz Guitar from the Birmingham Conservatoire, a BA in Arranging for Brazilian Music from UNIRIO, and is currently doing an MA in Irish Traditional Music Performance at the University of Limerick. Together they perform as part of the Milwaukee Irish Fest and University of Limerick's Irish World Academy of Music and Dance partnership.2026-08-13T20:15:002026-08-13T21:30:00123225ACC-6452026-2010447Athas and University of Limerick Partnership - SetDance Pavilion0/Irish-Fest-2020/IF-Artist-Photos//fest-shows/123225.htm1232252026-05-28T16:56:51.80700ThursdayMusicUSA LocalDance PavilionDance

Gaelic Storm

Fri, August 14 08:00 PM - 9:15 PMMiller Lite Stage

Gaelic StormIt's hard to imagine a band just coming into their own after 20 years of success, but that;s exactly what makes a true anomaly. Gaelic Storm, a multi-national, Celtic juggernaut grows stronger with each live performance, and after two decades and over 2000 shows, they are a true force to be reckoned with. The band attributes their continued success to their fanatic audience, and it's a well-diversified crowd for sure â€“ attracting fans of every genre with their rich storytelling, energetic instrumentals, devotion to Celtic traditions and passion for their stagecraft. They are as loyal to their fans as the fans are to them, as front man Patrick Murphy states, The fans are the ones that have given us this life. Weâ€™re here for them.â€ Gaelic Storm takes a true blue-collar, hard-nose approach to touring, consistently traveling the US and internationally forging a unique path in the Celtic music world. â€œYou have to see us live. We are the true working-manâ€™sâ€™ band,â€ says longtime member Ryan Lacey. â€œWe still, and most likely always will, tour most of the year, and thatâ€™s how we constantly hone our craft.â€ This dedication to their live show dates all the way back to the mid-1990s, when Gaelic Storm kicked off itsâ€™ career as a pub band in Santa Monica, California. One which performance led to their discovery that ultimately found the band appearing in the blockbuster film, Titanic (where they performed â€œIrish Party in Third Classâ€). This laid the groundwork for a career that would eventually find them topping the Billboard World Chart six times, making appearances at mainstream music festivals, and regularly headlining the largest Irish Festivals across the country, all while gaining a reputation as a genre-bending Irish rock band whose songs mix Celtic traditions with something uniquely creative. Recent years have seen the addition of Natalya Kay on fiddle and Parker Hastings on guitar, who both bring their own energy, musicianship and spirit to Gaelic Storm.2026-08-14T20:00:002026-08-14T21:15:00123311ACC-66710561Gaelic StormMiller Lite Stage0/Irish-Fest-2020/IF-Artist-Photos//fest-shows/123311.htm1233112026-05-28T16:56:49.70000FridayMusicUSA RegionalMiller Lite StageRock

Fri, August 14 08:00 PM - 9:15 PMVillage Pub Stage

Campbell and JensenAshley Campbell and Thor Jensen form a unique meeting of musical genres as the duo Campbell/Jensen. With Ashley coming from the world of country and Americana and Thor having a diverse background from rock to gypsy jazz, they create a fresh sound as a duo, weaving together a range of influences, including traditional Irish and folk. Ashley Campbell, daughter of country legend Glen Campbell, began her career playing in her father's band on several world tours and has found success as a solo artist in the country music scene, most notably with her debut single Remembering, which she wrote for her father. Her original music has taken her all over the world, from China to Japan, to the main stage at London's O2 Arena to opening for Kris Kristofferson and the Bellamy Brothers. She has also been spotlighted for her banjo playing with Rascal Flatts in the music video for their hit single Banjo. Ashley is of both Irish and Scottish ancestry and incorporates her heritage into her music. Thor Jensen, a virtuoso guitarist and songwriter from New York, has traveled many different roads. From touring the world with Hazmat Modine to playing Americana with Quiet Life opening for the likes of Dr. Dog and Portugal. The Man and Shovels and Rope, then onto joining the Stephane Wrembel Band, playing the music of Django Reinhardt, and performing at Carnegie Hall and all over the world, all the while immersing himself in New York's jazz scene. Ashley and Thor started Campbell/Jensen in late 2021 and have been playing music together ever since. Both being strong instrumentalists, in addition to the combination of Thor's deep baritone and Ashley's clear-as-a-bell vocals, together they make a one-of-a-kind blend. Their debut album, â€œTurtle Cottage,â€ is out now!2026-08-14T20:00:002026-08-14T21:15:001238512026-0210573Campbell and JensenVillage Pub Stage0/Irish-Fest-2020/IF-Artist-Photos//fest-shows/123851.htm1238512026-05-28T16:56:55.76000FridayMusicUSA RegionalVillage Pub StageFolk

She has also been spotlighted for her banjo playing with Rascal Flatts in the music video for their hit single Banjo. Ashley is of both Irish and Scottish ancestry and incorporates her heritage into her music. Thor Jensen, a virtuoso guitarist and songwriter from New York, has traveled many different roads. From touring the world with Hazmat Modine to playing Americana with Quiet Life opening for the likes of Dr. Dog and Portugal. The Man and Shovels and Rope, then onto joining the Stephane Wrembel Band, playing the music of Django Reinhardt, and performing at Carnegie Hall and all over the world, all the while immersing himself in New York's jazz scene. Ashley and Thor started Campbell/Jensen in late 2021 and have been playing music together ever since. Both being strong instrumentalists, in addition to the combination of Thor's deep baritone and Ashley's clear-as-a-bell vocals, together they make a one-of-a-kind blend.

Gaelic StormIt's hard to imagine a band just coming into their own after 20 years of success, but that;s exactly what makes a true anomaly. Gaelic Storm, a multi-national, Celtic juggernaut grows stronger with each live performance, and after two decades and over 2000 shows, they are a true force to be reckoned with. The band attributes their continued success to their fanatic audience, and it's a well-diversified crowd for sure â€“ attracting fans of every genre with their rich storytelling, energetic instrumentals, devotion to Celtic traditions and passion for their stagecraft. They are as loyal to their fans as the fans are to them, as front man Patrick Murphy states, The fans are the ones that have given us this life. Weâ€™re here for them.â€ Gaelic Storm takes a true blue-collar, hard-nose approach to touring, consistently traveling the US and internationally forging a unique path in the Celtic music world. â€œYou have to see us live. We are the true working-manâ€™sâ€™ band,â€ says longtime member Ryan Lacey. â€œWe still, and most likely always will, tour most of the year, and thatâ€™s how we constantly hone our craft.â€ This dedication to their live show dates all the way back to the mid-1990s, when Gaelic Storm kicked off itsâ€™ career as a pub band in Santa Monica, California. One which performance led to their discovery that ultimately found the band appearing in the blockbuster film, Titanic (where they performed â€œIrish Party in Third Classâ€). This laid the groundwork for a career that would eventually find them topping the Billboard World Chart six times, making appearances at mainstream music festivals, and regularly headlining the largest Irish Festivals across the country, all while gaining a reputation as a genre-bending Irish rock band whose songs mix Celtic traditions with something uniquely creative. Recent years have seen the addition of Natalya Kay on fiddle and Parker Hastings on guitar, who both bring their own energy, musicianship and spirit to Gaelic Storm.2026-08-16T18:15:002026-08-16T19:30:00125173ACC-66710561Gaelic StormMiller Lite Stage0/Irish-Fest-2020/IF-Artist-Photos//fest-shows/125173.htm1251732026-05-28T16:57:11.32300SundayMusicUSA RegionalMiller Lite StageRock
