Gaelic Storm released their fifth album "How Are We Getting Home?" in August 2004 (Lost Again Records/MRI/Ryko) which debuted at #3 on the Billboard World Music Charts and #10 on the Billboard Heatseekers Chart, and recently re-entered the September 2005 World Albums Chart at #3. Containing 15 fresh new tracks of the unique Gaelic Storm flavor that has made them an international fan favorite, the album includes co-writes with multiple Grammy-winning songwriters and showcases some of the strongest material the band has released to date. Recorded with producer Mark Miller (who has also worked with Garth Brooks, Emmylou Harris, Daniel O'Donnell, Mary Black, Sean Keane, Dolores Keane) at legendary Jack's Tracks studio in Nashville, TN, "How Are We Getting Home?" also features an appearance by famed folk-songstress Nanci Griffith.
