"I fortunately found the exact right person," he said. This time he wanted to be the frontman and guitarist. Loescher had always been a drummer, playing in grade school and while living in Scotland as a teenager. The traditions and the stories are the drawing point of Celtic music." "There's a cultural identity in Celtic music. "It's a small community, and that's why things worked out as well as they did," Loescher said. "I called up the people who I thought were the best at any position that I could find." "That sort of laid the seeds of putting together a rock band," he said. He appeared with his previous band, SixMileBridge, on the same stage as the Blarney Brothers. Loescher, the driving force behind the band, first got the idea while playing in North Texas at the Arlington Highland Games in 1999. "Not since Clandestine has a band brought innovation to Celtic music in Houston," said Rusty Andrews, owner of McGonigel's Mucky Duck. What was initially going to be a recording project with a cast of well-chosen players has turned into a popular, well-traveled band on the Irish music circuit. "So my goal was to try to do a really good melding - have rock players and folk players in the same band who both have the same vibe and create something that is more true to both sides of the coin," Loescher said. In a live setting, the band fills the venue with crashing and building sounds that might otherwise seem dissonant, but in this case come together in a natural tribal groove. "Or, you have rock bands that hire themselves a fiddle player and then call themselves Celtic rock." And most of them are either folk bands that are good folk players, and they just do it on electric guitars," founder Wolf Loescher said. "There are a lot of bands out there that have tried to do the Celtic rock thing.
