"Celtic Rock!"
"Kilt Rock!"

Whatever you call it, it's got a punch!

In today's voyage through the rock-pop indie music world, rarely do we stumble upon a fresh, raw talent like Seven Nations. Fighting the current trends and styles, they are a band driven by a fierce sense of independence, coupled with classic style and grace. They are true pioneers in the industry of rock music fused with Celtic tradition. With a passion for their art, they tour 275 days a year, and already have seven independent albums under their belt.

This remarkably determined band, based in Orlando, Florida, has sold in excess of 125,000 copies of its numerous releases. They have seized the attention of national press and media alike; with features on CNN, PBS, and ESPN. Admired by fans for their commitment to their Celtic roots, the five member band has captivated audiences worldwide with it's overwhelming musicianship and sense of self. By blending tradition with rock, indie, and other pop genres, Seven Nations has introduced a modern legacy of musical independence -- without compromise.

Equally at home in front of 40-50,000 cheering fans at an international Celtic festival, in front of 200 headbangers in a small club somewhere in the Midwest, or 1000 fans in Puerto Rico or Edinburgh, Scotland, Seven Nations has logged in more than 250,000 touring miles in its day job trying to make its less familiar music universal for old and new fans alike.

To the five-member band, that day job means being on tour 85 percent of the year, staying true to its Celtic music roots, while blending those roots effortlessly into American pop and rock. They've created a truly hybrid sound that has been virtually ignored by major record labels, but embraced big time by the band's huge audience which follows wherever the band, musically, wants to lead. And that direction can start with basic piano, guitar & vocals, bass and drums and then be implemented by highland bagpipes, fiddle/violin, mandolin and uillean pipes.

In the historical tradition of the great folk/rock/pop trailblazers of Scotland and the United Kingdom exists Seven Nations, a band that is doing what all those early bands have done, but with a twist. Nations is US based, and has no major label affiliation. And they like it that way. "This is a great time to be independent," says Nation's vocalist Kirk McLeod. And as an independent act the band has attracted an amazing national and international following through touring schedules, energetic and innovative self promotion, marketing and merchandising, dynamic live performances, and the sale of more than 125,000 of its self produced, independently pressed and released CDs.

"We are lucky," says McLeod, lead singer/songwriter and founding member of the band, "because we come from two unique cultures. We love American pop and rock and roll, but we also love our Celtic roots music. We want to touch everybody with our art," he continues, "and so far, we have been very, very fortunate."
