He is currently the lead vocalist and guitarist for the band Ceili Rain, a group he founded which combines Celtic, rock and contemporary Christian music.〔(Bob Halligan Jr. and Ceili Rain ), Syracuse Post-Standard, March 12, 2007〕 As a songwriter, Halligan has contributed songs to two albums by heavy metal band Judas Priest: "(Take These) Chains" from 1982's ''Screaming for Vengeance'' and the single "Some Heads Are Gonna Roll" from 1984's ''Defenders of the Faith''.〔Herman, Michael.(Christian Music's Best Kept Secret? ), ''Christianity Today'', August 26, 2002.〕 Judas Priest lead singer Rob Halford included another song by Halligan, "Twist," on the album ''Resurrection'' by his band Halford.
