Formed over two decades ago, Ireland's Saw Doctors are an enduring force in that country's popular music, but when the band tours stateside, fans come out in droves. The line-up has fluctuated a bit since its 1986 inception, but The Saw Doctors have stayed true to their solid rock and roll foundation -- which has a sound and energy reminiscent of The E Street Band and The Replacements.

Currently on tour in support of its 2010 release, The Further Adventures of...The Saw Doctors, the band is best experienced live, where the its humor and charm are given room to come to life. The Saw Doctors' discography includes over a dozen albums rich with the history of the group and its home country. This show is all ages and tickets are $25.25. Doors open at 7 p.m., concert begins at 8 p.m.
