PLUS Doherty's Paddy Wagon Food Truck! Nine Times Around has been bringing their brand of energetic and engaging performances to pubs and microbreweries, as well as larger festival events, throughout the greater Raleigh, NC area for nine-plus years. Be prepared to join in the shenanigans as the crowd claps, shouts and sings along to traditional and modern Irish tunes from The Dubliners, The Pogues, Flogging Molly, Young Dubliners and Dropkick Murphys.
And, hey, if Irish isn't entirely your thing, Nine Times Around also performs a wide variety of alternative and classic rock covers from REM, Oasis, Jimmy Eat World, Counting Crows, The Black Keys, White Stripes, Nirvana, Eagles, and Zac Brown Band.
The vibe is always fun and entertaining with plenty of between-song banter. The band is seriously entertaining, while not taking themselves too seriously!
Venue too small for a four-piece? Looking for some mid-week entertainment? The spin-off duo, Two Times Around, featuring Kevin (guitar/vocals) and Mark (guitar/vocals), brings the same style of engaging performance.
At 7 PM the music starts. There is an outdoor stage (and an indoor stage in the store if it rains!). A different band each week: John Howie Jr, the Bluegrass Experience, Knee Deep, Neville’s Quarter… A pith helmet is passed to pay the band. Young and old dance.
There is room for the kids and toys and books... and screen doors for kids to learn to bang. No pets or alcohol. Fireflies. Sometimes thunder. Summer nights - listening to the clear voices and sweet songs melding with the cacophony from crickets, owls, tree frogs and toads. Not being able to tell if the white lights are fireflies or Christmas lights. 3/4 time. Not worrying. Not rushing. Just being. As twilight descends.
