Young Dubliners
The Young Dubliners (sometimes shortened to the Young Dubs) is an American rock band, formed in Los Angeles, California in 1988. Their style of music has come to be called Celtic Rock, for the fusion of Irish traditional instruments and music with modern rock. They have released ten albums, starting with ''Rocky Road'' in 1993, and most recently ''9'' in 2013. They have toured the United States and Europe since 1994, and have supported Jethro Tull, John Hiatt, Chris Isaak, Jonny Lang, Great Big Sea, and Collective Soul. All Music.com states, "Their live shows (have) a jam-like appeal, similar to the vibes of Phish and the Dave Matthews Band."〔Wilson, MacKenzie. "Young Dubliners bio", Allmusic, accessed December 26, 2008.〕 Members include lead vocalist and guitarist Keith Roberts, bassist Brendan Holmes, violinist Chas Waltz, guitarist Bob Boulding, and drummer David Ingraham. Their repertoire consists largely of original rock compositions and Irish folk songs with a rock twist. Their influences include Thin Lizzy, The Pogues, The Waterboys and U2.
==Origins==
The Young Dubliners were founded in 1988 by Dublin native Keith Roberts and Paul O' Toole. The two had been tweaking some Irish ballads of original music and decided that it was time to put a band together. The band consisted of Roberts, O' Toole and Brendan Holmes (bass), Randy Woolford (electric and acoustic guitar) and Douglas James (drums).〔 Based on early recordings, the Young Dubliners produced their first cassette tape of Irish folk and pop songs recorded live at the Irish Rover entitled "The Young Dubliners".
After this recording, the line-up of the band changed continuously. The only constant band members during this time were bassist Brendan Holmes, guitarist Randy Woolford and drummer Douglas James. Holmes grew up near Roberts in the Dublin suburb of Dún Laoghaire. Songs like "Dirty Old Town", "Fisherman's Blues" and "Rocky Road to Dublin" became essential songs.
After having been directly influenced by Celtic musician Christy Moore and Irish band The Fureys, The Young Dubliners released their second original song "Home", on an eponymously titled second cassette. Unlike their first cassette, their second cassette was recorded in a studio and featured additional musicians and overdubs, but otherwise had a similar mix of Irish folk and pop songs. After this, they stopped playing at The Irish Rover exclusively and branched out to other venues.
