With a batch of incredible new songs and an undeniable energy, the Young Dubliners are excited to bring their show to festivals, 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 vocalist and guitarist Keith Roberts.

In recent years, the Young Dubliners have 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 Isaak.

Although the Young Dubliners' sound is most commonly called Celtic Rock, that label can often be misleading. The Irish influence is certainly there, but it's not the only influence that bursts through on 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, a lot 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 know what you'll end up with."
