Celtic rockers The Young Dubliners are coming to Anaheim tomorrow–and they’ve just done something they’d never done before!
The latter is no mean accomplishment.
“The Dubs”, as their fans call them, have been around since 1988. They’re known for writing and performing original songs that can get audiences on their feet dancing–then sit them quietly back down to reflect on their lives.
On their ninth studio album, though, the Dubs have broken new ground–by asking their fans to crowdfund their first fully independently-produced project. The resulting new album, entitled Naoi (“Nine“), just released on March 4th, is a jubilant celebration of creative freedom–alternating uptempo numbers that sound like the best Saturday night at your favorite pub, with the slower, more contemplative explorations of love, endings and life in general.
