The Mickeys

"The evening will be headlined by popular Akron Celtic-Rock band The Mickeys...
The band's songs can be humerous such as in the original tune Demon Alcohol and alternately reverent and tradition flouting, as in the instrumental Loch Ness Monster, which begins with a traditional sounding Irish fiddle and flute melody before cranking up the rock quotient with power chords and steady backbeat..." Malcome X. Abram
music critic - Akron Beacon Journal

By injecting traditional Irish and Scottish tunes with a modern rock energy and edge, The Mickeys have found wide appeal for its untraditional sound...Instrumentation ranges from tin whistle, flute, fiddle, and banjo to electric guitar and saxophone, with tempos and attitude veering into the pub-rock and even punk-rock realms...One needn't be a disciple of the Ramones or Rancid to enjoy The Mickeys high energy Celtic blend. The band is as likely to be found at outdoor summer festivals as beer-drenched rock clubs.
