SUMMARY:The Ex-Patriots on Shockoe Sessions Live!
DESCRIPTION:SSL is a live\, weekly concert series celebrating RVA's goldmine of musicianship!\n\n\nConcerts performed at In Your Ear Studios. \nThe Ex-Patriots play a style of traditional Irish music\, infused with the energy of punk and the storytelling of American folk music. With original lyrics composed by lead Jonah\, the band fills in with lively\, fist pumping beats.  \nFormed at Lynchburg College nearly 25 years ago\, the Ex-Patriots still put on a high-energy performance unlike any other. Making the move to Richmond in 2002\, the band has built a reputation for sing-alongs\, dancing\, and audience participation. Consisting of traditional instruments like the tin whistle\, mandolin\, and violin\, the band brings an old Irish sound and an original blend of influences to their shows. And while the band long had a rotating cast of characters\, the current lineup has been performing regularly for the past eight years at venues like the Church Hill Irish Festival\, Northside Grill\, Poe’s Pub\, Mainline Brewery\, Gallery 5\, Final Gravity Brewing\, The Artemis in DC\, and many more.  \nThe Ex-Patriots are firmly rooted in the style of the Pogues and will always perform a few Pogues songs. However\, they also step outside the box to perform original music inspired by punk\, American folk\, and old-time gospel. Their new album features everything from upbeat drinking songs to lovesick ballads and from the deeply personal to the unabashedly political. \n \nDoors 7pm \nShow 7:30pm SHARP! \nIf you can’t make it in person\, you can watch live or later HERE!
