Coal For Xmas with Jasper Coal & Zach + Cheyole at The Nick

Celtic folk-punk band from Birmingham AL More an event than a show, Jasper Coal’s unique fusion of folk-punk and Celtic music draws influence from popular Celtic punk rock artists such as The Pogues, Dropkick Murphys, and Flogging Molly to more traditional artists from Ireland and Scotland such as the Tannahill Weavers, Planxty, and The Bothy Band. But the band’s skilled musicians allow them to occupy an exclusive niche. Jasper Coal confidently blurs the boundaries between the modern and the traditional, transitioning comfortably between musical subgenres. They seamlessly blend the raw, uninhibited aggression of the folk-punk genre with authentic yet explosive renditions of traditional Celtic tunes.
