"Hell is Filled with musical amateurs, music is "The Whiskey of the Damned"
The Whiskey of the Damned is a five piece Celtic influenced rock group put together by Ireland native Eoin McCarthy. Located in Milwaukee WI, The Whiskey of the Damned are a fast rising group of talented musicians dedicated to playing high energy, raucous concerts filled with an unmistakable mixture of American and Irish rock.
The band is relatively new has already landed prime spots in festivals such as Milwaukee’s Summerfest, Manhattan Illinois Irish fest, and Milwaukee Irish Fest to name a few. Described as a mix of The Pogues, Dropkick Murphy’s, and Flogging Molly you do not want to miss this act perform live.
Fronted by Eoin McCarthy and Blaine McQuinn, the show never stops. Eoin has been lucky enough to be in a host of other bands and shared bills with or opened for the likes of The Violent Femmes, Dropkick Murphy’s, Bucket head, Van Hunt, Gin Blossoms, Dinosaur Jr. Soul Asylum, even Flyleaf. And has been featured in movies such as The Harley 100th on brand x films, The last Dispatch and acted in a pilot for ABC called “Playback”.
Blaine also plays with one of the foremost country music acts in the mid-west called “The Cathouse Drifters” an extremely talented musician he plays Bagpipes, Violin, Guitar, Fiddle, mandolin, and banjo to name a few. And now With Micheal Favaro on the Accordion, Shawn Hoffman on Bass Guitar, and Tim McQuinn on drums from Whitewater, the energy is pretty unstoppable."
