The Fighting Jamesons deliver a traditional style of music with an aggressive and energetic modern-day approach. Formed in 2010, The Fighting Jamesons quickly gained a strong presence on the East Coast. They’ve shared the stage with legendary Irish rock acts such as Dropkick Murphys, The Saw Doctors, and Young Dubliners. In November of 2011 the band released their self-titled debut album, produced and engineered by Capital Records recording artist Mark Padgett.
Bill Bodkin of POP Break said this of Padgett and TFM: “While The Fighting Jamesons might not be a household name just yet, the album has serious production value behind. Produced by Mark Padgett, founder of former Capitol Records recording artists Mae, this self-titled debut is about as major label sounding as you’ll hear out there. And it’s this value that makes the record that good. The Fighting Jamesons are a live show band, they’ve made their name with their high-energy, interactive shows and it’s been seen on numerous occasions that it’s sometimes hard to capture a good live band on record. Luckily Padgett is able to do that and the production quality, as high as it is, doesn’t alter anything you’d hear from the band live.”
The band comes to Denver Thursday for one show only at the Marquis Theater at 2009 Larimer St. The All Ages show will start at 8:00pm. On Friday March 15 the band travel to Steamboat Springs, CO for the Strings Music Festival (8pm)
Colorado band, The Stubby Shillelaghs will open the show. They began in 2010 when long-time friends Andrew Mithun, Ryan Knaub, and Shaughnessy McDaniel decided to start “The Stubby Shillelaghs” as a small side project band to the current heavy metal bands they played in. In October of 2010, the owner of Patrick’s Pub in Greeley, Co. was looking for an act to play his Halloween show. He took a chance on the newly formed and unproven Stubbies. The result was a resounding success. This led to the band being offered a weekly show at Patrick’s called “Stubby Tuesday”, which they have been playing every Tuesday evening since. They recorded and released their first self-produced album “Stubbies Assemble!” on St. Patrick’s Day of 2011. The year 2012 saw the release of two Stubby Shillelaghs albums. The first was a studio album titled “Whiskey Business” and second, a live album titled “Parental Advisory Live!”.
