NEW to the BRIGID stage: Ladies of Longford! @ladiesoflongford
Celebrating over 23 years of music, this high-energy, all-woman band brings a dynamic blend of Contemporary Celtic, Traditional Irish, and fresh acoustic styles. Known for their superb vocal harmonies and outstanding musicianship, the Ladies of Longford deliver performances that are both powerful and deeply connected.
From intimate house concerts to major festival stages, they bring Celtic music straight to the soul—and we’re excited to welcome them to BRIGID 2026 for the first time.
RETURNING to the BRIGID stage: Eileen Ivers & The Brigideens—the namesake ensemble of the BRIGID Festival.
Led by Grammy-winning, Emmy-nominated, 9-time All-Ireland Fiddle Champion Eileen Ivers, The Brigideens deliver powerful, emotionally resonant songs and tunes rooted in Celtic and Americana traditions.
Expect fiddle fireworks, driving banjo, rich harmonies, and stories that celebrate resilience, connection, and creative fire.
🎄✨ Merry Christmas to all who celebrate! ✨🎄
We’re still riding the high from an unforgettable night — Celtic Rock Christmas was a total dream, and we’re so proud to say it’s officially the FIRST ANNUAL! 🔥🍀
In addition to all of the fun, and because of your generosity, we were able to donate 700 lbs of food to the Greater Pittsburgh Community Food Bank — truly the spirit of the season. ❤️
Huge thanks to the incredible bands who absolutely rocked the stage (@piper.ally @thelowkings @bastardbeardedirishmen ) our amazing co-hosts @yajagoff Podcast, the talented Irish dance schools who brought the energy @shovlinacademyirishdance @bellschool_irishdance and our dedicated volunteers who made the night run smoothly behind the scenes. We couldn’t do this without you. 💚
Thank you to everyone who came out, sang along, donated, danced, and celebrated with us. Thank you to @velumfermentation for hosting and @lovekatiedistilling for providing spirits and the photobooth.
Here’s to music, community, giving back — and many more Celtic Rock Christmases to come. 🎶✨
Sláinte & Happy Holidays! 🍻🍀
