The Drowsy Lads Christmas 2025

The Murphy Theatre, Wilmington

About the Show

Playing Irish music with a "dare you to sit still" fervor for 20 years now, The Drowsy Lads' connection actually goes back much farther. The lineup includes two brothers, a father and son, and a web of lifelong friendships, and you can hear those bonds in every sizzling reel and joyous singalong. Headlining festivals and packing out theaters with high-energy performances that earned them honors as 2018's Best Irish-American Band, the Lads continue to be one of the genre's must-see live acts. This is spirit-lifting, body-moving, hell-of-a-good-time music, and it's never sounded more alive.

The Drowsy Lads thundered onto the Irish music scene in the US over 20 years ago and have become fan favorites at every turn. Sticking to traditional roots the Lads bring a fire and excitement that has enchanted audiences everywhere they go. 2018 brought the release of their 4th album, Everyone In, and the distinction of “Best Irish American Band of 2018”. With an undeniable genuineness that flows from their live performances, the Lads released their 4th album in 2024: a double-disc commemoration of their 20 years playing together.
