About Dropkick Murphys: Dropkick Murphys are: Al Barr (lead vocals),
Tim Brennan (guitars, accordion, mellotron, whistles, vocals), Ken
Casey (lead vocals, bass guitar), Jeff DaRosa (banjo, bouzouki,
mandolin, harmonica, acoustic guitars, vocals), Matt Kelly (drums,
percussion, vocals), James Lynch (guitar, vocals).Their most recent
album,11 Short Stories Of Pain & Glory, released through the band’s
own Born & Bred Records in 2017, debuted at #8 on the Billboard Top
200 and was the #1 independently released album. There’s a feeling of
purpose throughout the album, influenced by the band’s work with The
Claddagh Fund, a charity the band established in 2009 to help support
addiction recovery as well as children’s and veterans’ organizations.
Dropkick Murphys are hands-on in raising funds, mentoring, and lending
a helping hand with veterans, youth sports, and drug and alcohol
rehabilitation. Many of the songs reflect these experiences, and the
band’s sadness, anger and dismay at the opiate epidemic ravaging the
country – in particular, Boston and New England – and also their
feeling of pride and optimism at the sight of those who have turned
their lives around. Dropkick Murphys have become ambassadors for their
city. In Boston, it seems like everybody knows someone connected to
the band whether by blood, friendship, or the time they shared a brew
at a Bruins game. They’ve built a legacy that does Beantown proud.
