Up in Dublin for this weekend’s Music Show, guitarist Noel Hogan said, “We’re going to rehearse in a couple of weeks time in Limerick, and then kick things off in Baltimore. The closer it gets, the more excited I am! We’re going to have most of our old road crew with us, so it feels really comfortable.”
Expect an Irish date or two in the New Year.
