Dicey Riley, the Celtic Rock band from Northampton, Msassachusetts, has been around since1998 playing traditional Celtic works, derivative works and some original tunes with a Celtic flavor. Their style is very original. Dicey has the ability to weave classic, Celtic musical motifs into rock music creating a traditional song with an edge to it that makes the song different from the way the usual "traditional" band would play it. ....................
At their core Dicey is Celtic; they play classic, traditional, acoustic instrumentals and rollicking Irish pub songs. Some of their songs are "Beatleized" Celtic. That is, Dicey plays as if the "Fab Four" from Liverpool played Celtic rock. Dicey also plays in a Mic-a-Billy style, their own patented mixture of Celtic and Rock-a-Billy. ........................................
Visually, the band is worth seeing. It is always interesting to watch a piper (especially in a kilt) and Dicey has an accomplished Highland bagpiper in Frank (The Doctor) Toscannini. Dicey's fiddle player, Katherine First, puts an authentic Irish feel on top of a killer rhythm section with Michael Jennings, on guitar and Jimmy Gibbs on bass. John McLaughlin, the drummer, is also their main lead singer. He plays something called a "cocktail drum set", an unusual set up that allows him to sing lead while drumming standing up............................................................................................
Dicey plays play Irish bars/pubs, rock bars/nightclubs; Irish social clubs, Celtic festivals (Harpoon Brewery's St. Patrick's Festival, Pipes In the Valley, The Taste of Hartford, The Taste of Northampton etc.) and course, private parties. Dicey has done warm-ups for major national and international Celtic acts (The Saw Doctors, Black 47 etc.). Dicey has also done work for breweries and distillers (Guinness, Dewar's, Paper City Brewery and Olde Burnside Brewing). ...................................................................
