Fire in the Glen
Lancaster-based Celtic band attracts loyal fans with lively show

Fire in the Glen doesn't hold back at performances, and audiences can't seem to help tapping toes, clapping in time, singing along and even trying to stepdance!!

The duo brings Irish, Scottish and Maritimes music to southcentral Pennsylvania with a lively presentation of blistering fiddle tunes and mug-thumping pub songs. Bandmates Jason Mundok (lead vocals and acoustic guitar) and Tom Knapp (fiddle, bodhran and backing vocals) are expanding to new horizons with a large and loyal following.

Since Fire in the Glen's professional debut on St. Patrick's Day 1999, the band has shared a stage with international touring acts including Lunasa, Aoife Clancy, Tarras and Great Big Sea, and has performed at numerous festivals, fairs, lawn concerts and special events. They were featured entertainers on three occasions for national television audiences as part of QVC's annual Rose of Tralee and St. Patrick's Day specials. They have played to capacity crowds at many venues in Pennsylvania, including packed houses during Countdown Lancaster festivities on New Year's Eve for many years. They have released three CDs to date: On the Road to Lisdoonvarna (2000), Pirates, Wakes & Whiskey (2002) and Let the Wind Blow High (2005).

Although drawing mostly on traditional music sources, the band includes some original songs such as the crowd-pleasing "Susquehanna Pirate," "From Amish to Irish," "Scots-Irish" and "I'd Stop Drinkin'" ... making Fire in the Glen more fun than ever!
