THE YOUNG DUBLINERS

The Young Dubliners origins can be traced back to Los Angeles' vibrant pub scene in which Dublin natives Keith Roberts (vocals, guitar) and Paul O'Toole first met. Roberts was composing some Irish ballads at the time and thought a band might be in the offing. Assembling a rag-tag team of Irish transplants and like-minded American rockers, The Young Dubliners grew into a pugnacious music machine resulting in their debut, the Rocky Road EP (1994). It exhibited a hefty rock sound that made them a club favorite. Breathe followed a year later with the addition of Chas Waltz (violin, keys, harmonica, etc). The hard-rocking Irish band, the Young Dubliners owe everything to their fans. "They keep us honest, expecting good music both on the road and on the albums," mentions front man Keith Roberts.

Fans have been waiting long and impatiently for the Young Dubliners take on the great songs born of Ireland and finally, they will be rewarded by 429 Records' release of WITH ALL DUE RESPECT, THE IRISH SESSIONS.
