Joliet, IL (June 15, 2018) – Rialto Square Theatre announced today the addition of three amazing shows to our summer/fall calendar. Celtic juggernauts, Gaelic Storm; comedian Heather Land; and iconic percussionist, Sheila E. will all perform live from the Rialto Square Theatre stage in the coming months.
Gaelic Storm
Sponsored by Irish American Society of County Will
Wednesday, August 15 @ 7:30pm
**Tickets On Sale Friday, June 22 at 10am**
This multi-national, Celtic juggernaut grows stronger with each live performance, and as you can imagine, after two decades and over 2000 shows, it is a true force to be reckoned with. With their latest release, Go Climb a Tree, their music has never sounded more representative of themselves as musicians and as live performers. The band attributes their continued success to their fanatic audience, and it’s a well-diversified crowd for sure. The country-music folks adore the storytelling, the bluegrass-heads love the instrumentals, Celtic fans love their devotion to tradition, and the rockers simply relish the passion they play their instruments with.
