““Seamus Kelleher is a virtuoso guitar player and a gifted storyteller. Put together Kelleher’s incredible guitar playing, his distinguished singing voice, and his totally off the wall sense of humor as a standup comedian, and you end up with a family friendly show unlike anything you have ever seen. He’s one of Galway’s unique treasures.” ” - Mike Farragher from the Irish Voice newspaper

Seamus Kelleher

The Irish Rocker

Master storyteller and singer/guitarist Seamus Kelleher started his music career in his hometown of Galway Ireland in the late 60s where at age fifteen he was the opening act for international touring groups like Thin Lizzy. He came to America in 1975 and since then has toured across the US and Europe performing over 7000 shows in venues such as Carnegie Hall, the Excelsior in Rome and festivals across the US and Europe. Most recently, he was the lead guitarist with Philadelphia’s legendary Celtic Rock band Blackthorn. He now performs as a solo artist traveling the US and Ireland.

“Seamus Kelleher is a consummate artist - a fiery and gifted guitarist (electric and acoustic), a fine singer, and an all-round great entertainer.  Put him on the main stage or in an intimate setting, it makes little difference, he'll blow away his audience and leave them asking for more.
