Three Pints Shy, a traditional Irish folk music band, will kick off the celebrations of St. Patrick’s Day at Allaire which will be followed by an 1830’s St. Patrick’s Day Celebration at Allaire Village on March 11th. With a collection of the traditional and new Irish folk music, Three Pints Shy has gathered fans across the country. For their first concert style event, they have brought out some new material and a cozy format that hearkens back to the storyteller bards of the past.
Founded in 2003, Three Pints Shy has become a raucous pub band, updating and reinvigorating the Celtic music so beloved all around the world. Stemming from the tradition of Tommy Makem and The Clancy Brothers, Three Pints Shy first appeared at the New York Renaissance Festival in Tuxedo, NY. The group members are David Anthony, Chant MacIeod, Tim Ott, Rob Pedini, Jonathan Siregar, and Robert Lee Taylor. Their regular drummer is the Crimson Pirates’ Don Kilcoyne.
Preferring the enjoyment of music and tavern songs, the group is influenced by all Irish pub songs. Three Pints Shy perform with a high-energy style creating an appeal to a younger audience, creating a fanatical audience reaction that grows with every song. However, they are not beyond the touching ballads of the Emerald Isle, enamoring their fans with their gentle harmonies.
Their first CD, “Waking the Dead” is made to capture their live performance energy. Each song is a lively and fun affair, performed as if tailor made for the pubs of Dublin. Each of the songs, recorded in May 2005 in Englishtown, NJ, captures their love of this music, as well as their humorous performances and amazing energy.
