Celtic Rock - Irish Rock - Roots
Music Created with Fire and Intensity Nominated TOP CELTIC ROCK GROUP 2010 & 2011
by the Irish Music Association
"Firestarters is right: This band's hallmark is it's high-powered energy. It's an energy that never over powers the music or the lyrics, though, and there are lyrics in plenty. Drawdy sings lead and plays guitar, with backing vocals from his bandmates, who add fiddle, mandolin, bodhrán, and bass as well. This Midwest-based group's growing skill is at serving the music and at serving up music that's worthy to be heard. The group has recently been the talk of Irish festivals. This is why." "Drawdy's Theatrical vocals and lyrical bent is of the big emotional kind, half Mike Scott's romanticisim, and half Luka Bloom's sensuality. The band kicks up it's storms with choppy rhythms and air punching acoustic rockers." - Irish Music Magazine "This high-flying group lit up the stage last year and went on to win rave reviews from across the country as audiences heard the stellar songwriting of Roger Drawdy for the first time. They have earned a return performance and promise to be headliners for years to come"... - Savannah Irish Festival Director |

Tuesday is Irish Pint Night with Roger Drawdy
Join Roger as he solos each Tuesday night at Molly Malone's Covington for pints, craic, and ceol, from 8-10PM. Studies have shown that a little break during the work week to join friends for a couple pints is VERY good for the soul. It doesn't matter that we are the ones who conducted the studies, just suffice it to say that you must trust this information. It is a brilliant evening at the quintessential Irish pub in Northern Kentucky. If you are looking for a truly Irish public house, lovely food, expertly poured pints, and brilliant music, then join us this Tuesday evening. Molly Malone's Irish Pub 112 E. Fourth Street, Covington, KY (859) 491-6659 |
