The Gas Men play Irish Traditional music (jigs, reels, hornpipes, polkas) and the many singers in the band perform a wide variety of songs. From Alaska to Argentina, the band has enjoyed playing music and entertaining audiences since the early ninties.

Starting out as Vincy Keehan and friends, the band was joined in 1995 by singer Orla Morrison and her guitar playing husband Richard Morrison. Orla and The Gas Men released a CD in 1998 called Minding Mice at Crossroads. The band had nine members: Orla Morrison, vocals; Richard Morrison, guitar, vocals; Vincy Keehan, mandolin, guitar, vocals; Kenny Somerville, banjo, guitar, vocals; Jimmy O' Meara, octave mandolin, guitar, vocals; Dana Lyn, fiddle; Vinny Cronin, flute, whistles; Colm O' Riain, fiddle; and Cormac Gannon, bodhran and vocals.

Orla, Richard and Jimmy moved back to Ireland and Dana and Colm went on to work on other musical projects. The remaining members became The Gas Men. Michael Stack played fiddle with the band from 1998 to 2000 and accordion player Barry O'Connell joined the band in 2001. After playing with numerous bands, including gigs with Johnny Moynihan in Dublin, Amsterdam and New York, John Caulfield, fiddler, mandolin player and singer, found his home with The Gas Men in 2002.
