So you can see just how diverse we (The Boyz of Homeland) are. We have taken every style of music that we have been involved with and influenced by and added to our unique style of AmeriCeltic Rock.
WE ARE WHO WE ARE....
We are a quartet of central Ohio musicians, performing a unique brand of progressive rock combined with our Celtic
influences. We mix the sounds and rhythms of the Anglo-Celtic music and combine it with energetic American rock. We,
HOMELAND have been rockin’ the stage with our “New Rock/Old Celtic style originals and tricked out traditionals
since 1999. Our music can be heard on college and public radio stations around the U.S. and Europe. We have been
seen on stages anywhere from your neighborhood pub and national festivals, to Ireland, Scotland, and England. And,
we have shared the stage with the front runners in our genre such as Black 47, Gaelic Storm, The Prodigals, and
Flogging Molly. Our current release, “We Never Got This Far Alone” is a perfect mix of traditional tunes and
rockin’ originals.
We are currently working on releasing 3 (women, men, local bands) 2010 Springfield Entertainment Group calendars. If you think you have what it takes to make 1 of the months for our calendars or have a band that could use the extra exposure by being displayed in a calendar, then contact us for consideration. Pay (guys & gals) for poseing in calendars will be a percentage of calendars sold. Men and women (6 out of the 12) chosen for a month, will also have to be available periodically for bookings throughout the year (don't fret, it is only part-time for various weekends, possibly 2-3 days a month). We will book the SEG guys & gals at events and bars throughout the region.
We are also looking for an experienced individual to coordinate and supervise the events we book for the SEG guys and gals.
Guys & Gals!! Anyone is eligible (no experience required). Shots are up to the photographer and will most likely fit the month it is being shot for. Please send in a photo (don't have to be professional photos, any will do) and a brief bio of yourself and what you would like us to know.
The band calendar is to help promote local established bands that play the spfld-dayton area. Each month will display a different band and their info. To be considered, please send a band photo, list of benefits you have played to help charities, and bio to:
Springfield Entertainment Group PO BOX 2367 spfld, oh 45501 We have a panel of 5 members (myself, local radio station rep, news-sun rep, photographer, local bar owner) that will choose which bands will be featured in the calendar.
I saw you guys at the Dublin Irish Fest on Sat for the first time. You guys were awesome!! i love the music that you played. Hope to see you next year!
Amy and I enjoyed watching you perform at the Springfield Summer Arts Festival tonight. We hadn't seen the band perform since Tyler and Larry joined. Ric will be missed, but I like the new sound, and I look forward to buying the upcoming CD!
