ACL 2025: Amble

Friday at 2:45pm on the Tito's stage.  It's an Irish folk trio out of Dublin.  According to Wikipedia, their main goal was to play cover songs at pubs in order to obtain free pints. They've since signed to Warner Brothers Records and have opened for Hozier. I think they can afford their own pints now.

"Schoolyard Days" is a nice mellow tune.

"Mary's Pub" is nice, too. It shows scenes from around Grafton St. in Dublin including the Phil Lynott statue. Mary's Pub is on Wicklow right down the street from Cornucopia Restaurant so we walked right by it. 

This is their most streamed song. The intro says: "'Lonely Island' tells the story of a man who remorsefully returns to the Island of his birth, only to find his people, his home and the way of life have all changed or are long forgotten."

Really good. I like these guys.
