The Devil’s Brigade

Festival favorites that give fans electrically charged music at its finest! — NYS Music

From Scotland to Japan, Italy to Cuba, Spain to Guam to the Middle East, and across North America, this electrifying group is embracing Celtic, rock, world music, and more with daring, skill, and a wee bit o’ cheek.

Why The Devil’s Brigade?

The original Devil’s Brigade, formally known as the First Special Service Force, was a highly decorated Canadian/American commando unit in WWII. Their legendary heroism struck fear into the hearts of Nazis, and their legacy can be traced directly to the Canadian Special Operations Regiment and Green Berets. The American Rogues have long supported veterans, and by becoming The Devil’s Brigade in 2023, we honor those who serve and also reflect our own Canadian/American identity. We are not in league with Satan.

Drawing favorable comparisons to Wolfstone, Afro Celt Sound System, and Trans-Siberian Orchestra, and consistently providing performances from Grade 1 bagpipers and other world-class musicians, this high-energy Canadian/American group has electrified audiences on three continents for years. They have expanded their ever-growing family of fans at music festivals, theaters, military bases, weddings, memorial ceremonies, corporate events, and more.

This has even included shows with world-renowned violinist/composers Lindsey Stirling and Alison Krauss, as well as airplay on TV and radio, and performances at non-Celtic venues such as the World Music Festival in Quebec, where they have both kicked off and closed the six-day event to widespread acclaim (they’ve been asked to play this festival ten years in a row and counting).

In 2021, they charted at #12 in the world for their rendition of “The Boondock Saints Theme,” and #3 and #7 in North America for their “Boondock Saints Theme” and “The Gael from Last of the Mohicans.” In 2017, they became the St. Paddy’s Band of Rogers radio stations nationwide when they recorded Celtic versions of contemporary songs for airplay.

In 2018, they appeared at festivals in Scotland, including their appearance as the first international act at the Cowal Highland Gathering, one of the largest Celtic events in the world. In 2019, they headlined in Abu Dhabi and at the Greg Frewin Theatre in Niagara Falls and sold out the Harbourfront Centre Theatre in Toronto with Japanese taiko group, Nagata Shachu.

In 2020, they were invited to return to Scotland to perform at the 150th Crieff Highland Gathering and also continued performing Celtic/Japanese hybrid music under the name “The Dragon & the Rising Sun.”

With shows in Japan, Scotland, Italy, Spain, Guam, Cuba, Greece, and the United Arab Emirates, their hard-won road successes have established them as artists with bona fide international acclaim.

Renowned for their musical skill, quick wit, compelling storytelling, and engaging stage show, The Devil’s Brigade have mastered the art of creating an immediate connection with audiences. They are known for their epic, multi-instrumental sound that crosses the musical landscape to include jigs, reels, hornpipes, ballads, originals, covers, soundtracks, patriotic and military music, Irish foot-stompers, and more.

The Devil’s Brigade are fast becoming a household name with music lovers around the world, loved by young and old of all backgrounds.

Tom Comerford

Tom Comerford was a founder member of The Whole Shabang, one of the most successful, hard-working and respected Irish bands on the North American scene through the 1990’s, and that’s his voice on the original version of Dreamers And Believers – the song was written specifically for him.  Since 2000 he has continued to work as a full-time entertainer, albeit in a solo capacity, and this allows him a certain amount of flexibility. Whether entertaining a group of visitors to Ireland, performing at a corporate event, or flying high at a festival, you’re going to experience Tom in his natural habitat.
