Ireland’s Saw
Doctors, featuring singer-songwriters Davy Carton and Leo Moran
(pictured), return to the Celebrate Brooklyn bandshell with their
working-class brand of rock ’n’ roll on June 22 at 6 pm.
Critic Tommy Shea sums up their sound by writing, "Imagine
if Bruce Springsteen had grown up in the west of Ireland and
was influenced by the Clancy Brothers, Bob Marley and the Ramones."
The Docs, joined by Waterboys co-founder Anthony Thistlewaite
on bass, are on tour promoting their latest CD, "Play It
Again Sham!," which will be released on Rykodisc July 22.
Former Saw Doctor Padraig Stevens will open the show.
The bandshell is located near the Ninth Street at Prospect Park
West entrance. Admission is free, with a $3 suggested donation.
