St. Paddy’s Day – C-VILLE Weekly

PICK: We Banjo 3

Pickin’ back up: Looks like we’ll need to celebrate another St. Paddy’s Day with a pint on the couch. But lucky for us, We Banjo 3 will be streaming live from Dublin, Ireland. Since 2012, the Irish quartet has been wowing critics and crowds with its innovative take on traditional Celtic, bluegrass, and American music, a smorgasbord the band likes to call Celtgrass. Known for electrifying live shows, WB3 swings from rollicking jams, to poignant ballads, to pop-folk anthems with infectious energy. On second thought, get off the couch and move to that energy (minus the infection) by grooving to the group’s first gig together since the pandemic closed stages.

Saturday 3/13, $25, 5pm. theparamount.net.
