HOMELAND

About Me

We are a quartet of central Ohio musicians, performing a unique brand of progressive rock combined with our Celtic influences. We mix the sounds and rhythms of the Anglo-Celtic music and combine it with energetic American rock. We, HOMELAND have been rockin’ the stage with our “New Rock/Old Celtic style originals and tricked out traditionals since 1999. Our music can be heard on college and public radio stations around the U.S. and Europe. We have been seen on stages anywhere from your neighborhood pub and national festivals, to Ireland, Scotland, and England. And, we have shared the stage with the front runners in our genre such as Black 47, Gaelic Storm, The Prodigals, and Flogging Molly. Our current release, “We Never Got This Far Alone” is a perfect mix of traditional tunes and rockin’ originals.

The Great Guinness Toast

It was a great night Friday night!  The Boyz were ready to get back out and start performing again.  Tyler got his taste of performing before a wild and (maybe) slightly drunk crowd.  They blew the du...
