Seven Nations In Concert

Equally at home in front of 40,000 cheering fans at an international festival, with the widely recognized, Grammy award-winning, symphony orchestras, or with 150 fans in a small Dunedin club, SEVEN NATIONS has created a truly hybrid sound and transient live show. The depth and complexity of SEVEN NATIONS’ music are astounding, each listen reveals a deeper layer of intricacy that has been embraced by an ever-growing audience. “We are lucky,” says Kirk McLeod, lead singer/songwriter and founding member of the band, “because we come from two unique cultures. We love American pop and rock and roll, but we also love our Celtic roots. We want to touch everybody with our music,” he continues, “and so far, we have been very, very fortunate.”

“Seven Nations taught a crowd of nearly 10,000 one important lesson: bagpipes rock.” – Lancaster Intelligencer Journal

“Explosive Seven Nations blows Palace into orbit … you’d be hard pressed to find a more original, unique but accessible group … powerful self-penned tunes and transcendent live shows. A musical force to be reckoned with, Seven Nations’ day has come.” – Albany Times-Union

“Seven Nations is blazing a new path in the “indie” music world for others to follow. Rarely has there been a CD with such variety so skillfully played, a testament to the multi-talented Seven Nations.” – Brigid’s Feast

“Full of hooks, addictive melodies, and precise musicianship, Seven Nations may be the next frontrunners for the summer tour feel-good band of the new millennium.” – MusicBlitz
