The Flynn 529 band is comprised of five lads of Irish descent
from Upstate NY who, collectively, have been entertaining audiences
of all ages for many years. Their music is a mixture of traditional
and modern Celtic tunes from Ireland,
Scotland, and the
Maritime Provinces. Then they add a generous
portion of originals, blues, bluegrass, and folk to the mix. Last
but not least—they present songs in tribute to some of the greatest
bands and songwriters of the twentieth century such as Bob Dylan,
Neil Young, Simon & Garfunkel, the Beatles, Jimmy Buffett, and Hank
Williams to name a few.
The Flynn 529
band creates its own unique brand of Celtic mayhem, putting its own
spin on any song its gets its hands on. No song will ever be safe
from their grasp! The diversity of their material is apparent when
you hear them live. They enjoy the give and take with their audience
and invite the hooligan masses (that means you) to join the party to
sing and laugh the night away.
Their schedule takes
the band to venues around the Great Northeast and beyond, ranging
from the coziest Irish pubs to some of the most prominent festival
and concert sites. Flynn 529 continues to crank it up, performing
with a long list of the leading Celtic music acts on the scene
today.
Oh yeah – about that name - Flynn 529? Could it be the name
and batch number of the frothy stout that lead singer Tom Flynn
helped the Guinness Brewery start up when he last visited Ireland?
Indeed! And that’s no blarney, HA!
On behalf of Tom, Joe, Bill, Mike and James, and Craig, we'll
meet you down the road. See Ya Then! |
