Save the Date

For any of you that are interested, my life partner and I will be attending the Great Big Sea concert at the Majestic (9/11, 8:00pm). I don't think tickets are on sale yet, but I'll let you know before we buy them.

Great Big Sea is a folk/Irish/pop group from Newfoundland. I would compare them to Gaelic Storm. They're sort of poppy and not hardcore (nothing like Dropkick Murphys or The Pogues).

I've never been to one of their shows, but I probably prefer their live albums to their studio albums. That said, I bet we could get drunk their. Also, I think they might have a large female following, so Jeremy, I'm sure I'll see you there. I mean, it wouldn't be nearly as gay as the KK and their would probably be like 300 more women.

If you want to check them out, try these songs in iTunes or Pandora (get them live, if you can):
  • I'm A Rover
  • The Night Pat Murphy Died
  • Donkey Riding
  • Excursion Around The Bay
  • Helmethead
  • Chafe's Celidh
