The Young Dubliners

After thirty 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) while still maintaining their busy tour schedule. They have returned to the road post-pandemic stronger than ever and determined to bring their fusion of Celtic and rock music to as many people as they can.

The band is Keith Roberts (vocals / guitar), Chas Waltz (Violin, keys, vocals), Justin Pecot (guitar, vocals), Dave Ingraham (drums) and Ethan Jones (bass guitar). With a batch of incredible new songs and an undeniable energy, the band is excited to bring their show to festivals, theaters and clubs around the world.

“We want to be the band who reminds the world how important a good gig can be to our sanity after what we’ve all been through,” says Roberts. For only the second time the band is looking to its fans to finance the album instead of a traditional record company.

“The business has changed so much over our lifetime that it no longer makes sense for us to take money from a label and then owe it all back,” adds Roberts. “Making all our supporters co-producers is a far more rewarding way to make a record and allows us to maintain control all the way”.

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.

“That was always the idea,” Roberts said. “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.”

Ass Pocket Whiskey Fellas

San Diego’s Ass Pocket Whiskey Fellas have developed a reputation among local craft breweries, Irish Pubs and at numerous outdoor events for its rousing, crowd-pleasing, eclectic performances. Often incorporating and encouraging crowd participation, with a playlist that runs the gamut from Irish traditional, classic country, bluegrass, and classic rock, drawing a wide range of appeal for all ages.

This eight piece acoustic band was founded in the summer of 2011 by San Diego rock band veterans: Jack Laux, Steve Hoshko, and George Davis, looking to explore the connections between Irish traditional and American roots, and infusing a rock band delivery, while still utilizing all acoustic instruments.

“We have so much fun playing with each other, and our FellaFans have so much fun watching us have fun, that we have fun watching our FellaFans have fun watching us have fun. There’s just a lot of fun flying around at a FellaGig.” – Jack Laux

Taz Taylor

Taz Taylor was exposed at a very early age to the golden era of Rock Guitar playing. Michael Schenker in UFO and then in his own band MSG, Gary Moore in his late-70s/early-80s heyday, Randy Rhoads and Jake E. Lee and of course the early Van Halen albums, all left an indelible mark on the musical psyche of Taz.

Strange Days

Jason Tosta as Jim Morrison

Jason has been a professional vocalist for over 15 years and has toured the U.S., Canada, Mexico and South Amercia. He has had the honor of performing with legendary Doors guitarist, Robby Krieger, on numerous occasions. He has also shared the stage with bass legend Phil Chen, and “The Cult” bassist, Chris Wyse.

Forrest Penner as Robby Kreiger

Forrest is a pioneer of rock and roll tribute bands. In 1980, he started the first Doors tribute on the West Coast and has continued to perform their music around the world for over 40 years.

In March 2011, Robby Krieger had fallen ill. The Manzarek/Krieger Band asked Forrest to fill in for Robby on their Mexico/South America tour. It was a personal highlight sharing the stage with Ray Manzarek for 7 sold out performances, 10,000 people per show. At the conclusion of that tour, Forrest became Robby Krieger’s personal Guitar Tech, and still tours and performs with the Robby Krieger Band.

Alexis Angel as Ray Manzarek

Alexis is a much-saught after session musician in Los Angeles. He has been highly praised by legendary Doors guitarist Robby Krieger for his skill on the keyboard, as well as his ability to reproduce the classic Doors sound on both his Gibson G101 and Vox Continental / Fender Rhodes Bass keyboard setups.

Dave Madden as John Densmore

Dave has shared the stage with Doors guitarist Robby Krieger, and has been personally acknowledged by Doors drummer John Densmore to his fanbase, complimenting Dave on his drumming ability and the level of detail that he brings to his performances of The Doors music.

Stevie Nicks Illusion

SNI has been referred to as the most authentic sounding tribute to Fleetwood Mac to date! The haunting vocals and performance of Diana Grace are “Spot On” as Stevie Nicks from the early years of the 1970’s, and Monty Sommer recreates Lindsey Buckingham’s vocals and unique and intricate guitar work to sheer perfection! World Class musicianship combined with the chemistry and performance of all five band members is pure magic and all with no tracks! Laurie Richardson captures the essence of Christine McVie in voice, as well as on keyboards. The band showcases the Best of Fleetwood Mac plus specially selected songs from Stevie Nicks’ solo career. Dave Christensen is superb as Mick Fleetwood on drums and style, and Jeff Bennett on bass rounds out the group with his solid rock groove as John McVie! The shows are exciting as well as intimate, as they connect with the audience and engage with them in what can only be described as a magical shared musical experience!

Creed Fisher

“The odds were against me all along, but I just wouldn’t go away.” Country music rebel, Creed Fisher, defied the odds, going from rock bottom to chart-topping on his own terms independently. Like a steely-eyed gunslinger from a Sergio Leone western, he is a man of few words and lets his music tell his story. Fisher’s songwriting harkens back to the roots of genuine outlaw country music, taking listeners back to a place and time when the fine art of storytelling flowed effortlessly. While that element seems to have gotten lost in the glitzy slush of modern times, he’s never been one to sell his soul to the trends. Keeping it real means writing songs that real people can relate to; the good, bad and even the ugly. “A big part of my music is patriotic and for the working class. I relate to my music because I lived it.” Now, Fisher ups the ante, joining forces with renegade record label Dirt Rock Empire, for the highly-anticipated release of his newest album, Whiskey and The Dog, which he promises, “A rollercoaster of emotions; laughs, cheers with drinks and songs that will make you want to cry.” Unapologetic, patriotic and passionate, the album stays true to Creed Fisher’s unwavering form, speaking to and for his fans. “People will be like,’I’m glad he said that’ and ‘He said things I wanna say but can’t say.

Lane Smith

Country singer Lane Smith is no stranger to hard living and hard work—raised just north of San Antonio in Spring Branch, Texas, he grew up rodeoing as a bullfighter; the overlap between country music and rodeo culture is strong, and well-documented—the sport isn’t for the faint of heart. It’s stretches away from home, from loved ones, with long, dirty hours and no guarantee of a payoff not that different than playing shows on the road or that far removed from the idea of embarking on an independent career in country music that you plan to build from the ground up. But that’s exactly what Smith has done.

Smith released his first EP in 2018 and another in 2021, with singles earning more than a million plays on all platforms. His catchy blend of country music “will chill you to the bones while you’re tappin’ your feet,” as his song “Big Show” exclaims. He’s also already crossed off a few of his bucket-list venues, including the legendary Gruene Hall, along with supporting slots with artists like Kyle Park, Matt Stell, Colt Ford and Chase Matthews, to name just a few.

Smith is planning to quickly embark on the next phase of things: following additional singles this year, including “I Can’t Sleep,” which has already garnered extensive plays on streaming services, he’ll finally release his debut full-length album on July 14, 2023.

“Everything seems like a dream until you’re actually living it,” he says. “You start to see tiny bits of success through the trials and tribulations. You start gaining true genuine fans, you watch your stats start climbing and you’d be a fool to even think of stopping. I strive to get better every day, and stay getting better every day.” It’s impossible not to believe him
