Shamrock 'n' roll: The Young Dubliners.
Where:
Details:
Subject(s):
The Young DublinersThe Young Dubliners developed a reputation early on for high-energy gigs fueled by musicianship, pints o' bitter, and the thrill of a good Celtic-rock mash-up. Drawing on obvious influences (Waterboys, Pogues, U2), the group began as a musicians' "revolving door" in the early '90s, but finally hit its stride with a stable lineup to back founding singer-guitarist Keith Roberts a few years ago. A Dublin native and University College Dublin grad (politics/sociology), Roberts thought about pursuing journalism upon his late Reagan-era stateside arrival. He thought better of it after an internship at PBS, deciding he'd share his homeland history by making news, rather than reading it off a TelePrompTer. The quintet's still rolling after Roberts' vocal-cord surgery, and touring behind last year's wry, sprightly tour de force, Real World.They stand alongside Great Big Sea as a true purveyor of Irish rock that's thrilling to hear, fun to watch, and certain to swing your shillelagh.
