The Young Dubliners

After 30 years as one of the world’s leading Celtic rock bands, The Young Dubliners have begun work on their tenth studio album (with longtime producer Irish-born Tim Boland) and have returned to the road determined to bring their fusion of Celtic and rock music to as many people as they can. With a batch of incredible new songs and undeniable energy, the band is excited to bring their show to the world.

The band includes Keith Roberts (vocals / guitar), Chas Waltz (violin, keys, vocals), Justin Pecot (guitar, vocals), Dave Ingraham (drums) and Ethan Jones (bass guitar).

The Young Dubliners have released nine albums to date. In recent years, the band has 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 such a diverse list of artists as Collective Soul, Jethro Tull, Johnny Lang, Los Lobos, and Chris Issak.

Although the Young Dubliners’ sound is most commonly called Celtic Rock, that label can often be misleading. 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.
