(taken directly from their Myspace site)...Celebrating 10 Years! 1995-2005 According to their website: "Ceili" (say: KAY-lee) is a Gaelic (Irish) word that means "party," specifically one with live musicians, dancing and general merriment. "Coeli" is a form of the Latin word for "heaven." Rain is that stuff that falls from the sky. Thus, Ceili Rain is a "downpour of heavenly partiness." Ceili Rain makes an innovative blend of pop-rock music with a flamboyant Celtic/Irish flavor and a subtle but sincere Christian message. The band is led by frontman, Bob Halligan Jr. As a songwriter, Bob Halligan, Jr., has had over 140 songs recorded by well-known rock artists, including Cher, Michael Bolton, KISS, Kathy Mattea, Bob Carlisle, Rebecca St. James, Jump 5, Maire Brennan and countless others. His songs have sold more than 30 million units. With their latest release, CHANGE IN YOUR POCKET — they now have four albums under their belt. When they're not writing and recording new music or traveling around the country giving concerts at churches, conferences and other events, Ceili Rain does fundraising for Mercy Corps. Kick off your shoes, stand on a table, grab yourself a pint and join CEILI RAIN in celebrating 10 years of heavenly partiness!!
