Sailor Jerry Presents Flogging Molly "Green 17 Tour 2012"

Doors open at 6:30pm on the Scene Stage.
Appearing with Black Joe Lewis & The Honeybears.

Founded in Los Angeles in 1997, Flogging Molly has always defied categorization. The infectious
originality of their songs is a badge of honor and key to the band’s creativity, their urgency. They infuse punk rock with Celtic instruments—violin, mandolin and the accordion—and they merge blues progressions with grinding guitars and traditional Irish music, the music of King’s youth. Theirs is music of exile… Show more and rebellion, of struggle and history and protest. It’s music of a country torn down the middle; a deeply beautiful and wounded country that knows no quit, and Flogging Molly pays homage to that resolve in every note. Flogging Molly has never conformed to industry tastes; they’ve always been the outcasts who put their
fans before commercial success, and they’ve always put their music before marketability. The rewards of
such independence and integrity are undeniable on Speed of Darkness. You feel it from the first note to the last, the pathos and the passion, the sweeping and rollicking electricity of inspiration.
