Time to show off your BCM Fest tattoos again. Stoneybatter Band will be leading a session on Saturday, January 7th at 11am at the BCM Fest this year. The session will be at the First Parish Church in Cambridge on the
corner of Mass Ave and Church Street, just around the corner from Club Passim. Come join us for some tunes … and to show off your tattoos!
We are excited to be playing at 1728 Coffee House at the First Congregational Church in Holliston, MA again for a show on Saturday, October 29th. Doors open at 7pm, show starts at 7:30 and goes ’till 10pm. Also during the intermission there will be great tasting deserts!!! This was a lot of fun the last time, and we expect the same this time around. Hope you can make it.
The members of Stoneybatter Band can often be found playing tunes at John Stone’s Public House in Ashland, MA. Here is half the band working out a new set of tunes late one evening. The first tune is one that Greg wrote called The Marlin Spike. The other two are tunes Jim dug up and I’d tell ya the name of ‘em if I could remember ‘em.
Get out your green river dye and your big goofy green leprechaun hat, St. Patrick’s Day is here. Oh, and if your looking for a place where you can order a real pint that hasn’t been chemically altered to look like radiator fluid, come on down to John Stone’s in Ashland. The Stoneybatter Band will be playing traditional Irish music both Thursday evening (4-11pm) and an encore performance on Friday evening (8-11pm).
We are looking forward to seeing you!
My friend Tracy captured this video of us from the front row of Club Passim on her iPhone during the 2011 BCMFest. Gotta luv the iPhone. Thanks Tracy. Next time I’ll have to get Joey to pay her more so that he gets a bit more air time.
We’re playing a set we call Kick the Cat.
Fresh off all the fun at BCM Fest, Stoneybatter Band is back this Friday evening at Fiddler’s Green in Worcester, MA. Come join us, we’ll be showing off our newly inked, matching BCM Fest tattoos and, generally, just having a good time playing tunes and singing songs.
Show starts somewhere between 8 and 9pm. I’d tell you exactly when, except nobody, including Fiddlers, seems to really know. Such is life.
See you there!
First, we would like to thank all our friends who came out to watch us at BCMFest at Club Passim. It was great seeing so many people there supporting us. We would also like to thank all those that checked us out over concertwindow.com and sent us emails or posted to us on facebook. We really had a great time.
We also would like to thank the BCMFest organizers for having us, the Club Passim sound engineer and the stage manager for making everything run so smoothly. I’d also like to personally thank the beer guy, who, despite being supremely busy, poured me the tastiest brew the moment I asked for one just after our show.
Lastly, thanks to Brian O’Donovan for the after hours festivites.
We hope to do it again next year!
Saturday is just around the corner…get your tickets now for the Boston Celtic Music Festival and catch our show, which starts at 2:30 and runs for about an hour.
We are really looking forward to this event!
Well … the Worcester Irish Music Festival has come and gone. The weather wasn’t what we hoped for, but we made the best of it. Fortunately, the festival takes place under an enormous tent and all were protected from the elements.
We started the festivities on Saturday with an hour and a half of jigs, reels, hornpipes, songs, slides, more songs, more reels and more jigs. The crowd, although sparse due to our early time slot, was receptive. Overall, we had a really nice time and hope to get the opportunity to do it again.
