Music for St. Patricks Day - The Dropkick Murphys

Today is St. Patrick's Day. Time for corned beef, cabbage, potatoes, beer, and maybe a party or two. It's also time for the Dropkick Murphys' annual Boston concert.  

Who are the Dropkick Murphys?  They are described as a Celtic punk rock band, and here is more about them.  All I know is that I am not a huge punk rock fan, but I like them.

Here's a taste of their music - first, Rose Tattoo.


 Shipping Up to Boston.

They will be livestreaming a St. Patrick's Concert - for free.  Here are the details.  It's actually a fundraiser and donations will be accepted (see the link above for details).  Best of all, there will be an audience, like the previous two years.

Just as a bonus, I am linking to a blog devoted to chocolate and some brownies (no I haven't tried them) you can make for St. Patrick's Day.  If you aren't into brownies, how about cheesecake?

Happy St. Patrick's Day to you! (And Happy Birthday to someone in my life whose birthday is today.)

  6. Well, Rose Tattoo sounds like Irish music in the Whiskey in the Jar tradition. I don't hear punk rock style in it, but then, it's a loose term.
