Young Dubliners w/ Blood Sweat & Whiskey

After 30 years as one of the world's leading Celtic Rock bands, The Young Dubliners are bringing their fusion of Celtic & Rock music to The Stout Snug and Jacksonville FL.

With a solid lineup: Keith Roberts (vocals & guitar), Chas Waltz ( violin, keys & vocals), Jusitn Pecot (guitar, vocals), Dave Ingraham (drums) & Ethan Jones (bass guitar) and a new batch of songs, the Young Dubliners are excited to bring their music to festivals, theaters & clubs around the world and especially The Stout Snug.

The Young Dubliners are a hybrid sound born from the diverse background of all the members. The Young Dubliners sound is a combination of traditional folk , electric rock & Celtic riffs, all with an Irish Influence.

For only the second time the band is looking to its fans to finance the album
instead of a traditional record company. “The business has changed so much
over our lifetime that it no longer makes sense for us to take money from a
label and then owe it all back” adds Roberts. “Making all our supporters co
producers is a far more rewarding way to make a record and allows us to
maintain control all the way”.  The band have teamed up with long time
producer, Irish born Tim Boland, and will begin recording in the coming
months.

The Young Dubliners have released nine albums to date. The set on the
upcoming dates will draw from all their albums and include unreleased new
material.

In recent years the Young Dubs have appeared twice on ABC’s Jimmy Kimmel
Live, had songs featured in TV shows (Sons Of Anarchy, Human Target) and
toured extensively as a headliner and as the opener for such a diverse list of
artists as Collective Soul, Jethro Tull, Johnny Lang, Los Lobos, Chris Isaak and
many more.

Although the Young Dubliners sound is most commonly called ‘Celtic Rock’,
that label can often be misleading. The Irish influence is certainly there, but
it’s not the only influence that bursts through on their albums or live shows.

After all, several of the band members have no Irish roots of any kind. “That
was always the idea”, explains Roberts “The sound was intended to be a
hybrid because we all come from different backgrounds. Even though I am
from Ireland, a lot of the music I listened to growing up wasn’t Irish at all, but
when I got here, I got homesick and developed a new appreciation for
Irish Music. In truth the Celtic riffs can just as easily come from the American
band members. Everyone writes now so you never know what you’ll end up
with”

“Their sound defies categorization. The Young Dubliners can be seen as
Ireland's answer to Los Lobos, with a similar combination of traditional folk
music, raucous electric rock, and forward-thinking experimentation.”
