Live In-Studio: Young Dubliners

KNBA | By Loren Dixon
Published May 15, 2015 at 12:43 PM AKDT

  The Young Dubliners returned to Alaska May 7th and are very likely to be Alaska's Favorite Celtic rock band. The band stops here consistently and the Alaska audience loves em! The Dubs are a hard working band playing hundreds of shows to thousands of fans across the US and Europe every year. The band has appeared on ABC’s Jimmy Kimmel Live!, had songs featured in TV shows (Sons Of Anarchy, Human Target) and toured extensively as a headliner and as the opener for such a diverse list of artists as The Flaming Lips, Collective Soul, Jethro Tull, Johnny Lang and many more.

We last saw the Young Dubliners in Girdwood just a few months ago in February and I still recall their performance at the Alaska State Fair in 2014.  KNBA has been playing music from the The Young Dubs since the late 90's and the band has been stopping at KNBA for Live In-Studio sessions since 2000.

His passion for programming a station and the 'Triple-A' radio format began in the early 90’s which led to him to help establish the format on KNBA when the station signed on in 1996. When not on the radio hosting a music show and interviewing local and national music acts, he may be hosting a stage at the Salmonfest music festival, carving a snow sculpture during Fur Rendezvous, on a road trip adventure, or hanging out in his hometown Anchorage.
