The ShamRogues

Several terms have been used to describe The ShamRogues in recent times and

'The Most Entertaining Irish Band in Maryland' is probably the most familiar

of these and one that seems to capture the essence of this group of musicians.

Put together by Banjo player Jim Phelan from Stradbally in Co. Laois, The ShamRogues have proven themselves very popular in the area with an ever-growing group of supporters on the Irish scene in the Baltimore and Annapolis regions. Not a band to stand around on stage blasting out song after song, The ShamRogues like to involve their audience in a fun, lively evening of songs and stories of Ireland (not to mention a bit of Irish Dancing thrown in) and God help anyone who forgets to clap along !!!

Jim is joined by champion Irish Dancer Casey O'Connor on fiddle, Danny McDermott on guitar and vocals, Gary Peresta on Bass and Joey Badamo on drums

The band has become a household name around the area and have played alongside some of the biggest names in the business including THE DUBLIN CITY RAMBLERS and THE WOLFE TONES - when asked to describe the group Sean McGuinness of the Ramblers said "The ShamRogues are a fantastic band and it was a pleasure to be in their company, they're keeping Irish music alive"

For an Irish group in the United States references don't come much better than that, so watch out for the gigs, get your arse down to the pub and join in the craic, the ceol

and drink with The ShamRogues and if things go according to plan....

IT'S A NIGHT YOU'LL NEVER REMEMBER !!!!!

You guys were amazing! Thanks so much for helping create a great St. Patrick's event for our guests!

THE TILTED KILT

THE SHAMROGUES are the most unusual, quirky yet highly entertaining Irish band I have heard this year. Put me on the mailing list!
