Last year on St. Patrick’s Day 2020 – just as the coronavirus was taking hold in the United States – the band held their ‘Streaming Up From Boston’ live stream event in lieu of their normal Boston Blowout St. Patrick’s Day celebration. It helped raise more than $60,000 through the band’s charitable organization, The Claddagh Fund; and has been watched more than 13 million times across platforms. This is a continuation of Dropkick Murphys long history of giving back and finding creative ways to connect with fans.
The band also held the ‘Streaming Outta Fenway’ livestream back in May of last year, it stood out as the first-ever music event without an in-person audience at a major U.S. sports venue, and the first music performance directly on the infield at Fenway. Bruce Springsteen also joined them on the Jumbotron for a two-song “Double Play” of DKM’s ‘Rose Tattoo’ and his ‘American Land’. The stream also manage to raise $700,000-plus to benefit charities such as Boston Resiliency Fund, Feeding America®, and Habitat for Humanity, Greater Boston.
