Welcome

Our LIVE album is now available on iTunes, Amazon, Spotify, and at your old-timey general store.  If for some reason you still have a boom box we have actual CDs too!  Get em while they last because it takes WAY too much effort to print more.

Sign up - we'll tell you stuff we don't tell anyone else!

Brogue Wave is a high-energy band of misfits based out of Southern California. We play Celtic folk, traditional Irish tunes with a bit of old timey music for good measure - one unholy union.

Our name was given birth to on the Salty Dog - a ship filled with great musical souls somewhere in the blue waters of the Caribbean. A chance wave hit - sending Tim and his pipes flying. Matt said "rogue wave!" The ship said “Why not!?" So we are Brogue Wave, and we want to see you soon.
