St. Patricks day is upon us right around the coroner and what better way to begin building your tolerance and cheer than catching a few Gaelic driven shows. This weekend brings the routy Quincy Massachusetts born Dropkick Murphys to town at the Aaragon Ballroom, which promises to be a fun show. I am particularly excited to attend because I've never been to the Aaragon, although I've listened to several taped concerts from the venue by O.A.R. and Moe. I think. The taped shows always sound good so I can't wait to see how the theatre sounds live. Not to mention it'll have a fun environment created by the Dropkick Murphys, although I like Flogging Molly more, but I'm excited to see their instrumentation especially. I'm anxious to see Tim Brennan who plays a slew of instruments including the Mandolin, Accordion, tin whistles, and acoustic guitar.
The show begins at 7 pm with two openers Jim Lucky followed by Old Man Kelley. Another couple Celtic shows coming up include a few at the Old Town School of Folk Music off Armitage. The next upcoming show for the Folk town school of music is scheduled for sunday March 3rd with a show by Martin Hayes with Masters of Tradition. This should be a special show as it is advertised as several of the world's traditional Irish music legends are supposed to all join up together on stage to make it a very special show. Another show at the same location will be on friday March 15th with a performance by Sean Cleland and friends playing many classic traditional Irish songs and folk tunes.
Whichever show attracts you this St. Patricks season, it is sure to be full of good cheer and fun.
