: Get yer Pirate Gear
(editor's note: we had some difficulties with photos for this blog, so waited to publish til we fixed the problem. Even though the event is over, Tahlulah's blog is still a good read!)
I don’t know if this will get put up in time but in case it does, GO SEE CUTTHROAT SHAMROCK TONIGHT! They are playing at Preservation Pub, probably actually starting around 11 or 11:30, if past shows are any indication.
They are awesome; they are so awesome I have friends that drove over 6 hours to see them last year for St. Patty’s Day. Get out yer pirate gear, yer kilts, and yer leather; these men know how to throw a show! It's pirate music from the hollers of the Smoky Mountains rather than the Caribbean Sea, which does change things a wee bit. There is still dancing and drinking, just in Preservation Pub instead of some tropical isle. You can listen to them here. They are rather Billy Bragg, Pogue-esque-- well if they were kidnapped by pirates and then brought to East Tennessee. And you know you’ve never heard that unique mix before so do yourself a favor and - Go, Go, Go! I bet it won’t be long before their shows move to a bigger venue and a bigger and a, you get the picture. They won’t be a local secret for long!
