On Open the Gate, Stanley & Grimm take their Celtic-influenced modern traditional music on a world tour with jigs and reels straight out of Ireland, fiddle tunes from Scotland, Canada, Sweden, and the United States, an original tune named for Nikki's son, and a playful pairing of a popular Irish seisiun tune, �The Mason's Apron,� with the classic Broadway standard, 'somewhere Over the Rainbow.� Woven through the instrumentals are songs that range from the traditional favorite �Carrickfergus,� to newer hits from Irish songwriters Luka Bloom and the Sawdoctors�as well as the �Galway Girl,� from American roots songwriter Steve Earle.
