Kansas City Irish Bands & Celtic Music
Here’s a list of bands and performers in the Kansas City area that play Irish traditional music or some form of music drawn from the music of the Celtic lands.
Every week I get asked for this list so I’ll keep adding to it and updating it as we go on.
Trad, celtic rock, balladeers, Scottish, fusion of any kind, it’s all here because if a band or performer says they play Irish or Celtic music, then I’ll list them.

Hi! I was fortunate enough to catch a performance by Dogtree at the Weston, MO Apple Festival. I’ve searched online but don’t see a website for them. I wondered if they have any CDs available for purchase.
I think they are wonderful!! Thank you. Sandy
Very welcome feedback, thanks Sandy. There is a dearth of material online for Dogtree compared to many local bands but as soon as I’m aware of any more I’ll post it.
Dear Friends,
My name is Joe Geia and I’m wanting to get in contact with the music organisers of your Irish Festival. Is there someone special I should be contacting to talk International Indigenous Australian touring band with?
If so, I would like to discuss with him/her by email communication. Regarding my tour of the UK.
Kind regards, Joe Geia
Aboriginal singer/songwriter.
Hello. I book entertainment for corporate events and have a client looking for an Irish band. Your list of bands is FANTASTIC but I’m having trouble contacting a few of them. Can you lend any assistance? Thanks!
