As we head into Saint Patrick’s Day weekend, many people are plotting out there celebrations with corned beef and cabbage and a pint of green beer. The only thing missing is a setlist of Irish drinking songs! Here on the Cape there is no shortage of traditional Irish singers … or is there?
Over the past week I saw more than one social media post from businesses looking for musicians to fit the bill over the Saint Patrick’s holiday. Beneath one of the posts, I saw someone respond with “I can sing country songs about beer! It’s kind of the same thing, right?”
This got me to thinking: Could you turn a country song into an Irish drinking song? I posed this question to the experts on Social Media and the overwhelming answer was “YES”!
And here is the Top 10 List:
Toby Keith, “I Love This Bar”
Willie Nelson, “Whiskey River”
Toby Keith, “Red Solo Cup”
Brooks & Dunn, “Beer Thirty”
Little Big Town, “Day Drinking”
Justin Moore, “You Look Like I Need A Drink”
Brad Paisley, “Alcohol”
Eric Church, “Beer In My Hand”
Luke Bryan, “All My Friends Say”
Garth Brooks, “Friends In Low Places”
