Hogan's Goat @ Liam's

Hogan’s Goat is a South Boston-based band that plays a high energy mix of songs and tunes that would have been heard in that most Irish of Irish-American neighborhoods over the last century or so - from traditional reels, jigs, polkas, and marches, to “Boston Irish” and tin pan alley songs of the 20s, to contemporary Irish ballads. The band combines ancient melodies, tight harmonies, and modern rhythms in a way that celebrates the history of two unique but inter-connected places over a long period of time; a time in which music flowed not only through the lives of the people, but back and forth across the Atlantic. Accapella sea shanties, acoustic tunes with traditional instruments, original arrangements with a driving rhythm section along with three and four part harmonies - it’s all delivered by Hogan’s Goat.
