The
Pacific Northwest may not be the first place you would expect to hear
rollicking Celtic, Folk or World music, but The Town Pants are
determined to change that. The Vancouver, Canada– based band combines
aspects of Irish traditional, acoustic pop, roots Americana, even
Australian and Mexican influences, to create their own unique brand of
“West Coast Celtic.” Armed with a pawnshop’s worth of musical
instruments, The Town Pants play songs that appeal to young and old
alike. The music of The Town Pants remains in the heart and head long
after the music stops. The Keogh brothers, Dave and Duane, lead the
band in vocals and instrumentation with banjo and acoustic guitar,
teamed with Aaron Chapman on tin whistle, harmonica and vocals.
Together with Kyle Tayler providing some fiery fiddle while Dino
DiNicolo and Mo Sherwood on bass and percussion provide the rhythm,
they generate a rare blend of passion, energy, animation and spirit.
The Town Pants are unsurpassed with their fast-paced West Coast Celtic
style.
 Feverish and stampeding, The Town Pants’ lively renditions of traditional and
contemporary Celtic-influenced tunes, combined with the group’s
original compositions, create a distinctive sound that has attracted
fans from around the world. At home, Vancouver fans selected The Town
Pants as one of their favourite National Celtic/Traditional Acts in
Vancouver’s Georgia Straight entertainment weekly annual “Best of
Vancouver” readers’ poll, where they were shortlisted with such groups
as Great Big Sea and Natalie MacMaster. Our presskit in Adobe Acrobat (PDF) form: Presskit
