Dropkick Murphys bringing St. Patrick’s Tour to eastern Idaho
Published at
IDAHO FALLS — Celtic punk band Dropkick Murphys are coming to Hero Arena at the Mountain America Center in Idaho Falls on Wednesday, Feb. 21 as part of their just announced 2024 U.S. St. Patrick’s Tour. Special guests Pennywise and The Scratch will open the show.
Dropkick Murphys recently returned to fully electric performances following a pair of critically acclaimed acoustic albums – 2022’s This Machine Still Kills Fascists and 2023’s Okemah Rising – interpreting the work of Woody Guthrie for a new generation. The albums, recorded in Tulsa with trusted collaborator and producer Ted Hutt, exposed the band to new audiences through airplay and news coverage
Pennywise formed in the South Bay of Los Angeles — a neighborhood with a rich punk-rock history — in 1988, Pennywise went on to amass an international following with their relentless touring and a melodic, high-energy sound fusing classic punk, surf punk, and blistering hardcore.
Resolutely working outside the margins of the mainstream, the band–singer Jim Lindberg, guitarist Fletcher Dragge, drummer Byron McMackin, and bassist Randy Bradbury–has emerged as an enduringly vibrant staple on SoCal radio airwaves and the worldwide festival circuit.
