"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."

BIO

LIVE

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.

2018 saw Costello join Britain's Gypsy Punk Collective The Brandy Thieves for their summer festival circuit, and bring Greenville South Carolina's "Swamp Rabbit Squeezebox Festival" into its second year of existence.  

Armed with a new Celtic Punk Album, and an expanding collection of exotic instruments, TC Costello is poised for an epic 2019.
