"Costello’s gasping, swooping accordion lines, the blurry banjo, hoarsely shouted gang vocals and a truly demented tin whistle all sound like they were captured in the bowels of some long-forgotten pirate ship."
Vincent Harris - Free Times, Columbia, SC
For nearly a decade, T.C. Costello has been bringing accordion-powered, alcohol-friendly cabaret punk to the dive bars, squats and festivals of Europe, Asia and the U.S.
Listeners can expect to hear old-world melodies, foot-stomping rhythms and tales of people on their worst behavior throughout Costello's sets of both original and traditional songs.
2019 once again saw Costello join Britain's Gypsy Punk Collective The Brandy Thieves for their summer festival circuit, bring Greenville South Carolina's "Swamp Rabbit Squeezebox Festival" into its third year of existence and release a new Celtic-punk album, "Horizon Songs."
