On Friday, February 13th, Ryan Lacey and his band Gaelic Storm shook off the early morning cobwebs to energize ESPN's talk show Cold Pizza at the show's studio in New York's Manhattan Center. Prior to playing a note before the cameras, Gaelic Storm had already impressed the crew to such an extent that they were introduced by host Jay Crawford as having given the best performance by a band on the show - in rehearsals. Asked by Crawford to describe what the band played, vocalist and co-founder, Patrick Murphy said, "Gaelic Storm is a rip-roaring party that we play for our fans all across the country. It's an Irish storm. It's a crazy storm." Guitarist Steve Twigger followed with the well-worn history of how the band landed on the deck of the movie Titanic. Crawford then asked the group's other co-founder, Steve Wehmeyer to describe how much the band adheres to a "traditional" sound. Wehmeyer replied by saying that the band will "vary it up with a lot a musical flavors." He also joked about the ancient Irish origins of "the bass and electronic bag pipes." To the enjoyment of Crawford and lifestyle hostess, Leslie Maxie, Gaelic Storm then tore into a performance of "Born to Be A Bachelor" with Lacey providing his trademark energy to the band's efforts. Following a cooking segment, the band returned to close out the show with a "rip-roaring" performance of "Beggarman," complete with Wehmeyer on the digeradoo. "Vary it up," they do.
