Fuse together the feel of your favorite Irish pub on a Saturday night with the excitement of a St. Paddy’s Day celebration; toss it back with a jig ‘o whiskey and you’ve got yourself quite a party. The Young Dubliners are just that; a mix of Irish and Los Angeles natives that overflow with high energy that draws every audience into their world of high kicks and Irish jigs. Formed in Southern California in 1988, The Young Dubs play a mixture of Celtic, Irish, and good old-fashioned rock ‘n roll. Keith Roberts, front man and main staple of the band, was stuck in a revolving door of musicians until early 2000 where the current lineup was established. The Young Dubs play a variety of music from original recordings to traditional Irish songs, including “Bodhran” and “The Rocky Road to Dublin.” Their most recent release, entitled With All Due Respect – The Irish Sessions, is an excellent compilation of twelve Irish classics recorded live in studio. Similar to their Irish counterparts Dropkick Murphy’s and Flogging Molly, the Young Dubliners are an excellent group of musicians, filling their hits with catchy sing-along choruses and heavy guitar riffs and whether you’re enjoying a pint or not, this band knows how to turn the quietest afternoon into a jam-heavy night of Irish revelry and merrymaking!
