Los Angeles-based Flogging Molly is a Celtic-infused punk rock collective led by Irish vocalist Dave King(Lead Vocals, Guitar, Bodhran) and comprised of Bridget Regan (Violin, Tin Whistle), Dennis Casey(Acoustic Guitar, Electric Guitar), Matt Hensley (Accordion, Piano, Concertina), Nathen Maxwell (Bass Guitar, Vocals), and Mike Alonso (Drums, Percussion). They’ve been making music together for over two decades, fusing the energy of both the Irish experience and American experience with a unique, folk-tinged sound that is unmistakably them. The cruise is an annual tradition to bring those fans and the music community at large together for an experience that is as unique, fun, and rich in culture as Flogging Molly is. Most of all, 2019 marks the 20th Anniversary of the conception of the band, so what better time to take a vacation and celebrate with them?
