Ceili Rain is a Christian band based in Syracuse, New York that is influenced by Celtic music.
As the group's founder, Bob Halligan, Jr. explains, in Gaelic, the word "Céili" (pronounced kay-lee) means "party", specifically one with live musicians, dancing, and general merriment for an all-ages crowd.
"Coeli" is a form of the Latin word for "heaven".
Thus, according to Halligan, Ceili Rain is a "downpour of heavenly partiness."
