Slugger O'Toole

Slugger O'Toole has just completed recording our first CD, "Hammer and Tongs" at the legendary Sunset Sound studios in Hollywood CA. Huge thanks to Bill Mims for engineering and production magic! It was truly inspiring to record and mix in the hallowed halls that gave birth to Led Zeppelin IV, Van Halen II, LA Woman, Exile on Main Street, Purple Rain and many more. Make sure to pick up a copy the next time you catch Slugger live! Slugger O'Toole is an LA-based Celtic trad/rock quintet who share a passion for the drinking, fighting & work songs of Ireland. We hail from the four corners, and were thrown together by our mutual love of the music and culture.In our underground lair in a Hollywood Hills basement pub, Slugger concocts a lethal brew of foot-stomping classics, deft instrumentals and five-part a cappella killers. Everybody sweats, everybody sings!Slugger's live shows at Southern California venues including the Ford Amphitheatre, Molly Malone's, O'Brien's on Main, Tangier and The Banshee have been (favorably) compared to "being punched in the face with a fistful of shamrocks." Slainte!
