A crowd of fans dressed in kilts and newsboy caps flooded the lobby of The House of Blues both Friday and Saturday night for the 2009 Green 17 Tour featuring Flogging Molly, with The Aggrolites and The Mighty Stef.
The Dublin-based The Mighty Stef, kicked off the night featuring songs from their second studio album, 100 Midnights. Lead singer Stefan Murphy opened things up with the first track from their album, Downtown. It was immediately apparent from Murphy’s grungy, almost growling, Irish voice that this was a great choice for an opening band. They set a vibrant mood for the crowd as they casually sipped beers while belting out A Pretend Sailors Goodbye. The great harmonies and melodic beat of Sunshine Serenade brought the audience to life, clapping their hands cheerfully along with the beat. Perhaps the most enjoyable performer on stage was the keyboard player, constantly uprooting himself from the giant couch pillow on which he was seated in order to get a little more into the groove as he pounded the keys. He even surprised us by busting out a trumpet for closing song, Poisonous Love. Murphy wished the crowd goodnight and brought the set to a close as the lengthy strings twirling off the end of his guitar glistened in the stage lights.
