- Yup, definitely hot. They are a Chicago band who I saw just a few weeks
- ago. Think of "Celtidelia" when you see them. They're kind of a cross
- between The Chieftans/REM (Well, sort of)... Excellent band. If you're into
- Ethnic variety (I enjoy Irish music) then The Drovers show a nice combination
- of Irish/Modern. Definitely worth a look-see.
