Music for St Patrick's Day

So the weather's beautiful and you don't feel much like working.  Hmmm .... dealing with crowds of revelers to grab a beer and listen to some great music doesn't sound so bad after all ....

Check these out ...

Kells finishes their five day run of celebrating with a pretty strong lineup of bands that leans towards the traditional ... music starts at 12:30 pm.

It's a blusy St. Pat's at Paddy's with Bill Rhoades, Paris Slim, Atomic Gumbo, the Strangetones, DK Stewart,and Patrick Lamb ... music starts at 2 pm.

Away from downtown, music begins at 4:30 at Edgefield ...  and also at the Kennedy School beginning at 5:30, including the Freak Mountain Ramblers.

And of course at Biddy McGraw's there's a great lineup too, finishing with Casey Neill at 11:30 (plus it's a instrument drive for Ethos Music) ... music begins at noon.

And in a completely non-St. Pat's vein, the Aladdin hosts Maceo Parker.  James Brown may have been the Godfather of Soul, but to be that he needed a killer live band. For years that band was led by sax player Parker. Look up "funk" and you'll find Maceo ... now this is a show to celebrate! ... 8 pm, $35

You can also celebrate in the cozy confines of your favorite pub, where you'll find Big Monti at the Trails End Saloon, Alice Stuart at the Laurelthirst, Suburban Slim at Duff's, Rick Welter at Queen of Hearts, and more ... check your favorite music schedule .... handy list is to the right .... >>
