Seattle's hard stompin' Celtic rock band.

Ockham's Razor creates a musical experience, not just a gig. We are a young, energetic band with Celtic roots that blends rock, bluegrass, gypsy, classical, pop and punk influences throughout our music. We include the audience in the show by getting off stage, into the audience and getting them dancing, singing along to the songs and breaking down that 4th wall that many bands put up between themselves and the audience. This creates a memorable experience for the the audience instead of a forgettable evening of "Who was that band?" The Yakima Folklife Festival described our sound as "Turbo-Celtic" and "Ethno-Punk".

Our music appeals to a wide demographic. We perform at all-ages festivals where we have little kids dancing with their parents, college bars where the audience is rocking out and jumping around and regular pubs & music venues where the age ranges from 21 well into their 80's and they come to enjoy the actual music. We believe the older audiences enjoy hearing the traditional songs re-invented in a new way and the young people enjoy that the music has a modern sound.

We cater our set-lists to the venue and audiences we are performing to. We understand some venues prefer more acoustic music where others are designed more for punk rock. We've designed our music to be flexible to the venue and audience. Just let us know what your venue prefers.



Hailed as a "cross between the traditionalism of The Chieftains and the hard stomp of The Pogues", Ockhams Razors has brought their hard stompin' Celtic rock and interactive shows to audiences throughout Washington, Oregon, California and Idaho. They've performed over 375 shows including two West Coast tours, opening for Irish music luminaries, The Chieftains and internationally known bands the Young Dubliners, the Paperboys and Enter the Haggis and organized the Great West Coast Craic - Celtic rock experience. Their album, Ten Thousand Miles To Bedlam,was chosen by Scottish Celtic Radio as Album-of-the-Week in February 2008, and garnered high praise and airtime on radio stations from Canada, the United States, Ireland, Scotland, England, and Germany. Ockham's Razor released their 4th CD, Wolves in the Walls, in August 2010 and embarked on their first U.S. Tour.
