The Prodigals, Fathom, and Bangers & Mash

The Patchogue Theatre for the Performing Arts and the Greater Patchogue Foundation follow up the annual St. Patrick’s Day Parade on Main Street with The Prodigals, Fathom, and Bangers & Mash in concert.

The Prodigals are one of the most successful bands to emerge from the East-Coast Irish scene. The band members grew up largely in Ireland; their original songs blend a funky and anarchic energy that is pure New York with a genuine passion for the traditional music of Ireland. They have played throughout the United States, from Los Angeles and Las Vegas to Chicago, Boston and Maine, as well as abroad in Canada, Germany and Ireland, but they remain firmly rooted in Manhattan.

With a unique blend of traditional Irish melody and the pure thunder of progressive and classic rock, Fathom’s songs and sound explore landscapes of Celtic myth breathed through modern and traditional instruments. Their third and latest self-released CD, Celtic Rocks, follows their critically acclaimed Pollution Blues album. Lead singer/songwriter John DiBartolo’s poetic lyrics meander through history, myth, and weighty spiritual topics to the primal theme of lost love.

Patchogue’s own “Music for the Celticly Insane”, Bangers and Mash have a unique sound that kicks the typical Irish/Celtic music up a notch, playing rock versions of revered Irish songs, high-energy tune sets, and catchy, powerful originals.
