We are Whiskey’s Wake, a Celtic rock troupe originally from Salt Lake City, Utah. Our music is a distinct blend of punk energy, layered harmonies, and choruses designed for crowds to join. We draw inspiration from the greats of Irish music, punk, and ska, but strive to leave our own mark on the genre.
We are set to release our fourth album in Fall 2026: Until Death, It’s All Life. Please pre-save the album on Spotify and join The Wake, the official Whiskey’s Wake fan club, for early listen access.
We hope you enjoy our music and find it worth listening to.

“Distant Lands is one hell of an EP and as you can tell I am a very big fan. Every song here is top drawer and can only help the band with their plans to rise to the top of American Celtic-Punk. . . . The EP ends with ‘Shepherd Of The Night Flock’ with the mandolin and as I expected the curtain comes down with the EP’s standout track. Pure Celtic-Punk at it’s best with the story being told almost as important as the tune. Superb!”

"Wake Up, Whiskey, the bands second release is a six-song collection of what I would describe as 90s indie rock – you know, all happy and jingly – meets a bottle of Paddy Irish Whiskey. Well for the first four songs at least. By song five (Bloodlust) they’ve downed the bottle of whiskey and gone is happy and jingly and now they are barroom brawling and by the close they are in Dingle, fighting with the Tinkers over Red Haired Mary."

“None of these lads are old enough to legally drink, yet they play music that should be showcased in a pub . . . . They play straight-up Irish jig rock with all the accoutrements like bagpipes, mandolin, tin-whistle, accordion and, of course their namesake. . . . Give these boys some time and they’ll be worthy of your next St. Patrick Day shindig.”
