The Young Dubliners
The Katharine Hepburn Cultural Arts Center, “the Kate”, welcomes The Young Dubliners on Wednesday, June 19, 2024 at 7:30 pm.
Although the Young Dubliners sound is most commonly called ‘Celtic Rock’, that label can often be misleading. The band is Keith Roberts (vocals / guitar), Chas Waltz (violin, keys, vocals), Justin Pecot (guitar, vocals), Dave Ingraham (drums) and Ethan Jones (bass guitar). 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”
With a solid line up and a new batch of songs The YD are excited to bring live music back into festivals, theaters and clubs around the world. 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 a diverse list of artists such as Collective Soul, Jethro Tull, Johnny Lang, Los Lobos, Chris Isaak and many more.
