Scuttered the Bruce
Founded in 2011, Scuttered the Bruce plays "
good old-fashioned, hell-raising pub songs in the mode of the greatest pub singers in recent memory - The Dubliners and The Clancy Brothers - but with all the piss and vinegar of The Pogues."
Members include Michael Crandall, Todd Osman, Tim Freeman, Chelsea Morton, Jason Catron and Will Walker
.
Scuttered the Bruce's repertoire includes old favorites like "Black Velvet Band" and "Finnegan's Wake," alongside gleefully debauched and punkish fare such as "Streams of Whiskey" and "If I Should Fall from Grace With God," topped off with an extra helping of bawdy originals like "Burning for Mary."
The band plays locally at Ann O'Malley's Irish Pub. For more details, go to scuttered.com.
