The Name

The Púca — a creature of Celtic folklore, considered a bringer of both good and bad fortune. A shapeshifter. A speaker of truths. It most commonly takes the form of a sleek black horse with a flowing mane and luminescent golden eyes. Like the music of Chris Pookah: untamed, mystical, impossible to forget.

Chris Pookah

“Wherever you go, whatever you do — just don’t be a ****.” Live music. Real stories. Celtic soul.
