FROM SCOTLAND TO JAPAN, ITALY TO CUBA, SPAIN TO GUAM TO THE MIDDLE EAST, AND ACROSS NORTH AMERICA THIS ELECTRIFYING GROUP IS EMBRACING CELTIC, ROCK, WORLD MUSIC, AND MORE WITH DARING, SKILL, AND A WEE BIT O' CHEEK.
Don't miss ‘The Big Music’ shows where The Brigade appears with as many as 10 musicians, including Scottish & Irish bagpipes, harp, vocals, violin, accordion, piano, bodhran, multiple drums, bass, guitar, whistle, and bones.
Drawing favourable comparisons to Wolfstone, Afro Celt Sound System, and Trans-Siberian Orchestra and consistently providing performances from Grade 1 bagpipers and other world class musicians this high-energy Canadian/American group has electrified audiences on three continents for years. They have expanded their ever-growing family of fans at music festivals, theatres, military bases, weddings, memorial ceremonies, corporate events, and more. This has even included shows with world-renowned violinist/composers Lindsey Stirling and Alison Krauss, as well as airplay on TV and radio, and shows at non-Celtic venues such as the World Music Festival in Quebec where they have both kicked off and closed the 6 day event to widespread acclaim (they've been asked to play this festival 13 years in a row and counting). In 2021 they charted at #12 in the world for their rendition of “The Boondock Saints Theme”, and #3 and #7 in North America for their “Boondock Saints Theme” and “The Gael from Last of the Mohicans”. In 2017 they became the St. Paddy's Band of Rogers radio stations nationwide when they recorded Celtic versions of contemporary songs for airplay, 2018 saw them appear at festivals in Scotland (including their appearance as the first international act at the Cowal Highland Gathering, one of the largest Celtic events in the world), and 2019 saw them headline in Abu Dhabi and at the Greg Frewin Theatre in Niagara Falls, and sell out the Harbourfront Centre Theatre in Toronto with Japanese taiko group, Nagata Shachu. In 2020 they were invited to return to Scotland to perform at the 150th Crieff Highland Gathering and they also continued performing Celtic/Japanese Hybrid Music under the name "The Dragon & the Rising Sun". With shows in Japan, Scotland, Italy, Spain, Guam, Cuba, Greece, Qatar, and the United Arab Emirates, their hard won road successes have established them as artists with bona fide international acclaim. Renowned for their musical skill, quick wit, compelling storytelling, and engaging stage show THE DEVIL'S BRIGADE have mastered the art of creating an immediate connection with audiences. They are known for their epic, multi-instrumental sound that crosses the musical landscape to include jigs, reels, hornpipes, ballads, originals, covers, soundtracks, patriotic and military music, Irish foot-stompers and more. The DEVIL'S BRIGADE are fast becoming a household name with music lovers around the world, loved by young and old of all backgrounds.
We are very flexible and perform with various lineups -- please contact us for stage plot, input list, etc. depending on the event.
Size, location, times, dates, sound engineer information.
We prefer sound and lighting to be provided. That being said we have extensive experience performing acoustically at weddings, red carpet events, movie premiers, and even on the roof of the Monte Carlo Resort in Las Vegas.

We twice performed as guest artists with the United States Air Force Orchestra at DAR Constitution Hall in Washington, D.C. There were 60 people in that world-class band, over 3000 people in the audience, and we met the Secretary of the Air Force and had dinner 3-star general. The concert-master hugged us.
Traveling and performing at venues around the world. We've had the good-fortune to have performed in Scotland, Japan, Italy, Spain, Guam, Cuba, Greece, the UAE, Qatar, and at festivals and theatres across North America.
We have performed at every kind of venue imaginable, from theatres and festivals to Memorial Services and Monument Unveilings for Navy SEALs and other Veterans. We pride ourselves on our flexibility and willingness to get the job done. We even performed at Pebble Beach Golf Club in California.
