Fearless Radio

Dropkick Murphys will be joined by special guests State Radio at their March 17 St. Patrick’s Day matinee show at Tsongas Arena in Lowell, MA, marking State Radio’s only confirmed 2012 East Coast date thus far. The 1pm St. Patrick’s Day show will also feature an acoustic performance by Frank Turner (solo), as well as Australian openers Ramshackle Army. 

The 7pm St. Patrick’s Day show at Tsongas Arena will include Frank Turner and the Sleeping Souls supporting Dropkick Murphys.

 

Massachusetts-based State Radio is currently promoting their new single "Roadway Broken"--written in the wake of the 2010 Haitian earthquake to raise money and awareness for Haitian earthquake relief--and will release a new album in 2012. For more information, go towww.stateradio.com.
