The Gleasons

About Me

The Gleasons, one of the most enjoyable and energetic bands in the Milwaukee area, have been together with their current lineup since 2004. The Gleasons' music consists mostly of their own original tunes, with some cover songs and traditional Celtic music with their own twist; it all blends together into a mixture of traditional Irish, Americana, rock, bluegrass, and American pop. They can be sweet, but they can rock hard too! The band takes their musicianship seriously, and they also know how to have fun--their energetic live shows will have you dancing and singing along to songs about Ireland, love, and nights at the pub with dear old friends. Join them for a show- you'll have a great time!
You can buy their CD at CDBABY
or download songs individually at ITUNES .

Places The Gleasons have performed include: Irish Fest, O'Connors Perfect Pint, O'Donaghues Pub in Elm Grove, The Irish Cultural and Heritage Center, The House of Guinness in Waukesha, Slim McGinn's, Westown Farmer's Market, Erin's Snug Irish Pub in Madison, the Bradley Center pre-Bucks game show, Mo's Irish Pub, The State Fair Inn, Western Days Fair, The Wisconsin State Fair, Port Washington Maritime Festival, and many events benefiting a variety of great causes.Professional MySpace Layouts by Iron Spider
