The Stormers are an Irish wedding band, and if the notion of a wedding band covering Bruce’s music makes you roll your eyes, just trust me and read on.
The Stormers have a unique sound (they describe it as Tom Jones crossed with U2, if either of those acts included a prominent flautist), and with more than a thousand weddings under their belt, they’ve put in their time.
A few weeks ago, the band released a new video to raise money for a new local outreach center for Pieta House, a suicide prevention and therapy organization, in their hometown of Dundalk.

The band may have only just released their video, but they’ve been working on it for a couple of years, which helps explain why it’s so well done. Here’s an earlier work-in-progress version:
If like me, you’re moved by The Stormers’ cover of “My Hometown” to donate to their worthy cause, you can do so here.
I’m looking forward to see what these guys do next.
