Joe Carey
2026-04-23 20:00 - 23:00 (America/Chicago) | The Dubliner Pub, 2162 University Avenue, St. Paul, 55114, United States
“Carey plays vocal-driven, guitar-heavy stuff reminiscent of what would happen if The Black Crowes played a friend’s barbecue. It’s upbeat, driving rock for the kind of folks who say the Foo Fighters are the best thing Dave Grohl has ever done, and the kind of folks who mean it. That’s the thing to take away from Carey: He knows what he likes, and that’s what he plays.” -The Onion’s A.V. Club

Mac and Cheese
2026-04-24 21:00 - 2026-04-25 00:45
Pete McCauley and Tim Cheesebrow are a duo from the Twin Cities, bringing old tunes to life and having a great time doing it.
Pete McCauley (vocals, mandolin, guitar): Pete has played in numerous bands over the years. A founding member and the original guitarist for the rock trio Eddie Mac, he spent a few years traveling the country, earned a record contract with SPV Records in Germany, and released two albums with the independent label Mud Hut Records. Pete also writes material for the Hounds of Finn. Pete met Tim a few years back and asked if they should learn some pub tunes and make some noise together…the rest, as they say, is history. Not the kind of history that would make it into any sort of book, but since it is in the past, it technically is…history.
Tim Cheesebrow (guitar, vocals, occasional mandolin and pennywhistle): Tim is primarily a singer/songwriter. He’ s got 6 or so albums under his belt, several tours and an extensive solo performance career. He’s always had a spot in his heart for traditional Irish and American folk songs, and jumped at a chance to play this music with Pete. He’s the founder of Discover Music, a non-profit that teaches kids to write songs as a healthy mode of self discovery and expression, and is the author of “Songwriting for Wellness: Using Music to Heal the Mind.”

Jake La Botz Book Release Party
2026-05-03 17:00 - 19:00
Your Place in This World: A Novella & Stories by Jake La Botz
A quirky Chicago kid raised by his junkie dad stumbles upon an unusual Maxwell Street bluesman; a Twelve-Step wannabe swaps addictions to match the support groups that meet in his favorite recovery room; a case of mistaken identity shines a bright light on a city-dweller’s dark past; a self-help seeking couple discover the help is more maddening than their “issues”; a tchotchke thief is overtaken by a force inside a stolen object. What does it mean to find your place in this world? Jake La Botz burrows his way deep into the challenges of revelation, showing how change can bless us and curse us, and ultimately save us.
“Jake La Botz writes like the bastard spawn of Denis Johnson, Hubert Selby, and Flannery O’Connor. His prose is as haunting and deep as the dark, beautiful, twisted heart of life itself. Your Place in This World is the kind of book you don’t just read, you stop people in the street and tell them they have to read. It’s that kind of good. I loved these stories.” -Jerry Stahl, author of Permanent Midnight

Pop Wagner
2026-05-07 17:00 - 19:00
Pop has quite the reputation as a singer, picker, fiddler, lasso twirler, poet and downright funny guy.
He appeared quite frequently on Public Radio’s A Prairie Home Companion during the show’s formative years and for the last five decades he has worked his cowboy magic throughout 44 states and ten countries.
His cowboy anthems crackle with the warmth of a prairie campfire and his old time fiddle tunes set toes a-tappin’ while he serves up spellbinding rope tricks and tall stories — all with a good dose of friendly humor.

Release The Craicen
2026-05-09 20:00 - 23:45
Release the Craicen was a startup band new to the Irish scene in 2017. They debuted in a pub sing along on St. Patrick’s Day. You can often find them down at the Dubliner Pub in St. Paul. Focusing on a Pogues and Flogging Molly influenced Irish Rock-Folk-Punk style, classic rock rhythms raise up rousing choruses while fiddle and accordion tunes reminisce days gone by. Between classic pub songs, modern Paddy Rock covers and an original or two, Release the Craicen has something for everyone.
We enjoy a diverse mix of bands and their unique styles of playing. We combine them into our own style. Those bands include The Pogues, Flogging Molly, The Tossers, The O’Reillys and the Paddyhats, The Dreadnoughts, Dropkick Murphy, Great Big Sea, and two of our local favorites The Langer’s Ball and St. George’s Folly.

Robb Henry Trio
2026-05-10 17:00 - 19:00
Guitarist Robb Henry is perhaps best known for his work with Parisota Hot Club, a band he formed to explore the gypsy jazz stylings of French guitarist Django Reinhardt in 2001.
Live sets by the RHT are a melting pot of styles steeped in blues, jazz and ’60’s pop music. Familiar melodies, unexpected excursions, and sonic surprises reminiscent of vintage psychedelic Brit-Rock, all inhabit a fluid, musical landscape. Retro noire style movie themes, à la Henry Mancini and others, selections by Django Reinhardt, Jimi Hendrix and the Beatles are standard set features.
