Young Dubliners. They'll be appearing June 20 & 21 / Sat & Sun
/ Long Beach, CA The BIG Irish Fair at Eldorado Park.

Influenced
by the Pogues, Waterboys, U2, Celtic musician Christy Moore and Irish
band The Furey Brothers, the Young Dubliners blend Irish folk, Irish pop
songs and fierce guitar riffs into their music.
Vocalist and guitarist Keith Roberts refers to the band's song selection "as the best of the best representing poets, playwrights and vagabonds, indeed, centuries-old traditional melodies shimmer bookended by distinctive romps through the songcraft of Shane McGowan which brush up against the wistfully sad lyrics of Irish poet Patrick Kavanagh."
Formed by Dublin natives Keith Roberts and Paul O'Toole in 1988, the Young Dubliners paved their way to the Los Angeles pub scene where they built a solid fanbase, but never left their Irish roots too far behind.
