Dropkick Murphys' current theater tour and new album This Machine Still
Kills Fascists have received widespread praise from fans and media. In a recent show review, Americana Highways noted: "The record itself, backed by [Woody] Guthrie's kindred, rebellious spirit, hit as hard as anything the Murphys have ever done...Throughout the show, the new songs hit as well as the old favorites."
In a review of the new album This Machine Still
Kills Fascists, No Depression summed up Dropkick Murphys' connection not only to Guthrie's lyrics but to his working class ethos: "No current act has done more to preserve and advance the legacy of Woody Guthrie...Nearly 60 years since his death, the struggles of working men and women and political oppression continue unabated. Those in need remain unheard by people in power. But much like Woody Guthrie,
Dropkick Murphys are still out there fighting the good fight."
As a special bonus for fans, on November 19 at 9 pm CT,
Dropkick Murphys will live stream the last night of their current This Machine...Theater Tour from Nashville's historic Ryman Auditorium, best known as the home of the Grand Ole Opry from 1943 to 1974. Tickets for this special live stream event are available at here and include a 72-hour replay window.
Fans can also check out
Dropkick Murphys online via their upcoming SiriusXM Outlaw Country Session, which premieres November 18 at 8:00 PM ET / 5:00 PM PT. Visit here to hear the performance.
Dropkick Murphys' album This Machine Still
Kills Fascists (released via the band's Dummy Luck
Music / [PIAS]) is unlike anything they've done to date: A full album of songs that bring Woody Guthrie's words to life. Not a tribute album or a collection of covers, This Machine Still
Kills Fascists is a collaboration between
Dropkick Murphys and Woody Guthrie - artists separated by time and space, but connected by a common philosophy - to create something entirely new.
