Fire in the Glen doesn't hold back at performances, and audiences can't seem to help clapping and singing along with the music!

The trio brings Irish, Scottish and Maritimes music to south-central Pennsylvania and beyond with a lively presentation of blistering fiddle tunes, skirling pipes and mug-thumping pub songs, as well as occasional airs and ballads. Bandmates Tom Knapp (fiddle, bodhran and backing vocals), Amanda Wells (vocals, guitar and percussion) and Rod Nevin (vocals, Highland bagpipes, Scottish smallpipes, pennywhistles and ukulele) are expanding to new horizons with a large and loyal following.

Since Fire in the Glen's professional debut on St. Patrick's Day 1999, the band has shared a stage with international touring acts including Lunasa, Aoife Clancy, Charlie Zahm, Enter the Haggis, the Young Dubliners and Great Big Sea, and has performed at numerous festivals, fairs, concerts and special events. They were featured entertainers on three occasions for national television audiences as part of QVC's annual Rose of Tralee and St. Patrick's Day specials. They have played to capacity crowds at many venues in Pennsylvania, and they've released six CDs to date: On the Road to Lisdoonvarna (2000), Pirates, Wakes & Whiskey (2002), Let the Wind Blow High (2005), Shout 'til the Break of Day (2010), Rattling O'er the Bogs (2017) and Nollaig Shona Dhaoibh (2019).

Although drawing mostly on traditional music sources, the band includes some original songs such as the crowd-pleasing "Susquehanna Pirate," "From Amish to Irish," "Scots-Irish" and "I'd Stop Drinkin'" ... making Fire in the Glen more fun than ever.
