In a state that goes crazy over March Madness basketball, a phenomenon has been building steam and is threatening to take over! That phenomenon is none other than the craze known as Kilt Rock!
Kilt Rock , in a nutshell, is an energetic mix of traditional Irish/Celtic music fused with modern rock-n-roll, with a little bit of folk, blues and bagpipes thrown in for good measure. Try to imagine that ’80′s dance classic “I’ll Stop the World and Melt with You” , originally by Modern English, done with bagpipes. It’s out of this world!
And at the forefront of Kilt Rock is the local band Mother Grove. This band has been around for over six years and their following keeps growing and growing. With five super talented and award winning musicians, it’s no wonder that they have taken the Indy music scene by storm. Unlike most “bar bands” Mother Grove play mostly their own original songs and their shows are so energetic that it is quite common for members of the barstaff and members of the crowd to get up and dance on the bar.
Since this is supposed to be a food blog, I suppose I should mention the food at Fionn MacCool’s, Mother Grove’s home away from home. Fionn MacCool’s menu has a good mix of traditional British/Irish fare and some modern American favorites. Some of my personal favorite dishes are the Shepherd’s Pie, the Full Irish Breakfast (black pudding included) and the Cashel Blue Cheese soup. Probably the most popular dishes however are the Fish & Chips and the Guinness Beef Stew.
If you are ever in the Indianapolis area, be sure to check out either Fionn MacCool’s or Mother Grove…or better yet, check out Mother Grove *at* Fionn MacCool’s!
