After thirty years as one of the world’s leading Celtic Rock bands, The Young Dubliners have begun work on their tenth studio album (with longtime producer Irish-born Tim Boland) while still maintaining their busy tour schedule. They have returned to the road post-pandemic stronger than ever and determined to bring their fusion of Celtic and rock music to as many people as they can.
The band is Keith Roberts (vocals / guitar), ChasWaltz (Violin, keys, vocals), Justin Pecot (guitar, vocals), Dave Ingraham (drums) and Ethan Jones (bass guitar). With a batch of incredible new songsand an undeniable energy, the band is excited to bring their show tofestivals, theaters and clubs around the world.
“We want to be the band who reminds the world how important a good gig can be to our sanity after what we’ve all been through,” says Roberts.
For only the second time the band is looking to its fans to finance the album instead of a traditional record company.
“The business has changed so much over our lifetime that it no longer makes sense for us to take money from a label and then owe it all back,”adds Roberts. “Making all our supporters co-producers is a far more rewarding way to make a record and allows us to maintain control all the way”.
The Young Dubliners have released nine albums to date. In recent years, the band has appeared twice on ABC’s Jimmy Kimmel Live, had songs featured in TV shows (Sons Of Anarchy,Human Target) and toured extensively as a headliner and as the opener for such a diverse list of artists as Collective Soul, Jethro Tull, Johnny Lang, Los Lobos and Chris Issak.
Although the Young Dubliners sound is most commonly called Celtic Rock, that label can often be misleading. The Irish influenceis certainly there, but it’s not the only influence that bursts throughon their albums or live shows. After all, several of the band members have no Irish roots of any kind.
“That was always the idea,”Roberts said. “The sound was intended to be a hybrid because we all come from different backgrounds. Even though I am from Ireland, alot of the music I listened to growing up wasn’t Irish at all, but when I got here, I got homesick and developed a new appreciation for Irish Music. In truth the Celtic riffs can just as easily come from the American band members. Everyone writes now so you never knowwhat you’ll end up with.
At a glance, Ryan Chrys & The Rough Cuts are a 4-piece touring band that shares male and female leads in a mix of old school country and rock n roll. Call it western outlaw, modern outlaw country, or just plain outlaw.
Ryan Chrys & The Rough Cuts bring forth new energy to music fans who love the heroes and outlaws of old. Influenced by the songs and personalities of legends like Waylon and Willie, they drive their sound with blazing guitars and a rock n roll attitude. The band pays respect to classic styles, but anyone can tell from their overdriven sound that they’re far from traditionalists. Recommended for lovers of both classic country and 70’s rock n roll.
Recent highlights include direct support for Dwight Yoakam, Shooter Jennings, Blackberry Smoke, Justin Moore, The Bellamy Brothers, Asleep At The Wheel, Reckless Kelly, The Nitty Gritty Dirt Band, Billy Bob Thornton, Jason Boland & The Stragglers, Old Crow Medicine Show, The Marshall Tucker Band, Shakey Graves, The Steel Woods, Cody Canada & The Departed, The Reverend Peyton’s Big Damn Band, Sunny Sweeney, Shane Smith & The Saints, The Kentucky Headhunters, Big Kenny, Love and Theft and more.
