Jameson Street is the first full album of new music from the Mahones since 2019 and is a pub-on-fire party that touches upon the band's favorite topics - love, drinking, fighting and hope.
The Mahones have evolved over time but the core musicianship remains, with a large group of 17 and even more special guests bringing unbridled energy and attitude to the record. This 12-song album includes traditional Celtic motifs and instruments (Irish flute, tin whistle, accordion, mandolin and fiddle) played with the vigor and punch of the punk aesthetic.
Whenever references are made to Celtic punk, the Mahones are listed alongside their peers Dropkick Murphys, as well as the legendary Pogues, and are considered seminal pioneers of the Irish punk genre in North America. Led by Finny McConnell, the Mahones began as a one-off band for a St. Patrick's Day party, but quickly became a 150-dates per year global touring phenomenon. They have released fifteen albums, including 2020’s 30th anniversary double album This Is All We’ve Got To Show For It.
