Dropkick Murphys welcomed back their longtime co-vocalist Al Barr for their St. Patrick’s Day show at the House of Blues in Boston on Tuesday, March 17th. It marked the first time Barr performed with the band in five years.
In 2021, Barr stepped away from the band to focus on family matters. On Tuesday, he returned to perform “Worker’s Song,” “The Vultures Circle High,” and Dropkick’s version of the Gang Green song “Alcohol” alongside singer Ken Casey.
Barr also helped close out the show with the band’s signature anthem “I’m Shipping Up to Boston.”
The March 17th concert wrapped up a multi-show run in Boston, where Dropkick also played five gigs at the MGM Music Hall at Fenway Park. Among the MGM shows was a special family-friendly afternoon concert that helped raise $60,000 for Franciscan Children’s Hospital.
Dropkick Murphys have also announced a special acoustic performance at a “No Kings” rally in Boston Common set for March 28th. The band will then embark on a UK/European tour beginning in June.
