Icons of Irish folk music, Dervish, make their Bilheimer Capitol Theatre debut! Dervish is one of the world’s most creative interpreters of Irish folk music and were recently recognized with a BBC Lifetime Achievement Award. They have devoted the last three decades to gently reinventing the traditional songs of their homeland. Through the years, Dervish has appeared at some of the world's biggest festivals, from Glastonbury in the UK to Paleo in Switzerland to Rock in Rio, with the "great and good" of the entertainment industry while steadily making their name as of the foremost purveyors of Irish folk music of their generation. Dervish's founding members were childhood friends in County Sligo, the same creatively fertile region that spawned a group of legendary fiddle players who emigrated to the U.S. in the 1920s, then recorded the first known Irish-music albums of any genre. Don’t miss Dervish in Clearwater only at the Bilheimer Capitol Theatre!

Celtic punk band, Dropkick Murphys, make their debut at The BayCare Sound on the St. Patrick’s Day 2025 Tour with special guests The Menzingers and Teenage Bottlerocket! Dropkick Murphys proudly remain Boston’s rock ‘n’ roll underdogs turned champions. Since 1996, the boys have created the kind of music that’s meant to be chanted at last call, in packed arenas, and during the fourth quarter, third period, or ninth inning of a comeback rally. Their celebrated discography includes four consecutive Billboard top 10 album debuts (Turn Up That Dial, 11 Short Stories Of Pain & Glory, Signed and Sealed in Blood, Going Out In Style), along with 2005’s Certified-Gold The Warrior’s Code featuring the double-platinum classic I’m Shipping Up To Boston. Dropkick Murphys’ music has generated half a billion streams. The band recently released a new single, Sirens, the first hint of a new album to come in 2025.
