They are a band that already has creditionals. In fact, Sligo Rags are two-time winners of the Orange County Music Award for Best Folk Band. What makes them stand out among others? Perhaps it is the way they meld Celtic Folk with a heavy bluegrass attitude.

Sligo Rags is taking the Celtic music scene by storm, both at home and away. Even their most recent album, "The Night Before the Morning After" is garnering international airplay and has been hailed as "the best I've heard from a stateside band" by Celtic Beat Magazine.

Sligo Rags isn't just hype. They have truly earned the praise that they are receiving. Their songs tell stories and take the listener on a journey with them. It is no wonder they come so highly decorated. They certainly earned it.
