Local Portland Celtic/Irish band Sons of Malarkey recently recorded their first cd and held a release party at the Dublin Pub!

SOM have been together and gigging all over the region for more than three years now. 67 Music found them through a Craigslist ad long ago and invited the band to perform at our first anniversary party over a year and a half ago. Since then the band has undergone some personnel changes and added some instruments. The current lineup is Jason Hohl, Josh Curll, Jereb Scott, David Battrick, Tatijanna Bourke and the newest member on accordion and vocals, Dan Edgar, who coincidentally helped record the band’s album and now finds himself a Son of Malarkey.

The release party was a grand success! A lot of people attended and the band was very well received. Sons of Malarkey are a fun band, they engage the audience with popular traditional Irish tunes as well as some well crafted originals that are so well written they sound like traditionals themselves. The band continues to grow and mature their sound every time they perform.
