Nothing says St. Patrick's Day like a festive celebration complete with fun, beer and lots of Irish music.

That's exactly what you'll get this March as The Pourmen get ready to rock the stage at a 21-plus event at The Vault in downtown New Bedford.

"The Pourmen are excited to come home to New Bedford on March 15th for 'New Bedford Celebrates the Irish' at The Vault Performing Arts Center, with special guests Watchfire and The Kelly School of Irish Dance," band manager Rick Bennett said.

A Hometown Show in the Whaling City

Performing in their home city is something the band members always looks forward to.

"The Whaling City is The Pourmen's hometown and so many venues, friends and family support us, and many of our songs have New Bedford references," Bennett said.

Attending the show? Get ready for an upbeat night. "A Pourmen show is a rollicking ride of Irish sing-a-longs mixed with tunes that relish the cobblestone streets and working class grit of New Bedford," Bennett said.
