Dave Alvin & Phil Alvin with The Guilty Ones to Play Dublin and Belfast Shows

Dave Alvin & Phil Alvin with The Guilty Ones have announced two upcoming dates which will see them perform at Dublin’s Whelan’s (April 12) and Belfast’s The Empire (April 13).

The Alvin Brothers, founders of seminal LA punk-roots band The Blasters, will play a mix of material from The Blasters’ back catalogue as well as offerings from both of their own solo careers.

The set will also see them perform music from their joint LP, Common Ground, and their most recent follow-up album Lost Time.

Spending four weeks at #1 on the Americana Music radio chart, Lost Time has garnered rave reviews worldwide, while 2014’s Common Ground earned the brothers a Grammy nomination.

In December, the brothers received a Blues Music Award nomination for Traditional Blues Male artist; their second blues award nomination.

Tickets for both the Dublin and Belfast dates are on sale now from the usual outlets.
