Meet The Band.....
James Siller- Lead Singer, Multi-instrumentalist, Front Man
-James has played music for his entire life touching in many different genres. A multi-instrumentalist of upward of 17 instruments, he offers a roundness to the band that not many other entertainers have.
-Growing up in Southern Appalachia, the beautiful mountains of NorthCarolina, he also plays in a bluegrass style of Gospel Music. He is 1 of 2 of "The Wayfaring Strangers".
-In 2011, he with played and toured with a Native/Celtic Band called "The Blessed Blend" and had the honor to perform at Grandfather Mountain.
-James has also done some studio tracks with "Pitbull" at TVT Records and Miami Sounds, and was a member of "Shady Creek" who had a recording contract with Urban Records and released an album in Wal-Mart called "Waylon Grass a Bluegrass Tribute to Waylon Jennings".
-His Irish lineage can be traced to the 12th century Ireland to the Conley Family in County Armagh and Scottish roots definitely to the 8th century Highlands..Clan Siller, and Clan McClelland in Central Scotland. This Gaelic bloodline has had a tremendous effect in his life and for Celtic Keg Stand!

Chad Johnson- Drums/Percussion, Singer
- Chad has loved music his whole life, all kinds, sorts and variety. He is an accomplished dancer and
has had voice lessons to boot. Singing in groups most of his younger life
and cutting a mean rug at dance parties, his parents would have him DJ at their private and public events.
-Then as fate would have it, he
discovered the drums and that's where his passion and love to play and perform came
about.
-Thanks to Celtic Keg Stand, Chad was exposed to a whole other world of music and he lives and breathes it.
Long live Celtic keg stand.
