What the? You read it correctly. Celtic sasla. Dan Toher is the leader of a 9-piece spectacular Festival Band featuring an intense 4 piece rhythm section supplemented with horns guitars,violin & soaring diva & backing female vocal section. In studio & on the road the band is supplemented with celebrity talent from Riverdance, The Corr's, Ray Charles band,& where possible talent from all parts of the world.

This song truly pushes the limits of Celtic music. Irishman Dan Toher has a song that combines New York Latin R&B with Riverdance. Actually, the drummer Robbie Casserley recorded with The Celtic Salsa Express before moving on to Riverdance. Add on top of this the diva vocals of Angie Workman who sings regularly with Ray Charles and you've got a very jazzy tune. No, don't go in listening for something traditional.

If Dan Toher & The Celtic Salsa Express were as much rebels as Black 47, I think they would reiterate Larry Kirwan's saying regarding whether they were Celtic. "I'm Irish. I'm playing music, so shut up and listen."
