   About Ockham's Razor


Ockham%27s%20Razor
Quantcast


** Hard Stompin' Irish Folk **

"A crossbreed of the traditionalism of the Chieftains and the hard stomp of the Pogues."

"Ockham's Razor take the Gaelic-Celtic genre into the 21st century with a keen sense of the past coupled with a progressive attitude that is entirely fresh."

"Ethno-Punk... Turbo-Celtic..."

"Move over Dropkick Murphy's; the new kids are in town, and their name is Ockham's Razor."

"[Ockham's Razor] interpret traditional folk tunes in a progressive and stimulating way that leaves the audience listening. Their generous nature is part of the experience; the audience feels like part of the band."

"Mixing traditional Celtic music with their own brand of energy, [Ockham's Razor] has been hailed for bringing 'kind of a Gaelic-Celtic flavor with an interesting pop sensibility.'"

"[Ockham's Razor's connection with their audience] is remarkably evident in the band's dynamic performances."

Ockham's Razor is currently booking shows for 2009. For booking information, please email bookings@ockhamsrazormusic.com.

If you would like to order a CD directly from Ockham's Razor, please e-mail us at info@ockhamsrazormusic.com and let us know how many CD's you would like and we will provide you with instructions on how to order and make payment.
