If there’s one thing I associate with St. Paddy’s Day in Boston, it’s cultural appropriation. If there’s two things I associate with St. Paddy’s Day in Boston, it’s day drinking (the irony involved is not lost on me.) Luckily, I’ll be doing both of those things on the afternoon of March 17th at the St. PadDIY’s Ska Festival at The Midway Cafe in Jamaica Plain. Put on by Greenstien’s Best, the all-ages matinee show features five local ska bands and will start at 3pm. Get more information on the show’s Facebook event page.
To help familiarize yourself with the proceedings, we’ve put together a playlist of sorts with all the bands involved:
Tenfold Path
Threat Level Burgundy
Fresh Perspective
The New Limits
Amateur Athletes
