The Fighting Jamesons deliver a traditional style of music with an aggressive and energetic modern-day approach. Forming in 2010, The Fighting Jamesons quickly gained a strong presence on the East Coast. They’ve shared the stage with legendary Irish rock acts such as Dropkick Murphys, The Saw Doctors, and Young Dubliners. In November of 2011 the band released their self-titled debut album, produced and engineered by Capital Records recording artist Mark Padgett (Mae).
“It’s an album steeped in the grand tradition of classic Irish sing-a-long capturing the true spirit of Irish music. The eight track album is the perfect Irish sing-a-long album —it’s passionate, it’s emotional, it rouses the spirits, it makes you want a pint and a nip of whiskey. If you’re listening to this album and it doesn’t make you want to get up and dance, get drunk, throw your arms around your buddies or your loved ones, break out in song or embrace the good things in life, then you’re probably one of those people who think Saint Patrick’s Day is a nonsensical day of drunkeness, not a bold celebration of Irish heritage and a day of nonsensical drunkeness.” - pop-break.com

“The Fighting Jamesons have taken their first in what we hope is a long, whiskey-fueled career of making people have fun with the rollicking hybrid of Irish traditional and American rock ‘n’ roll.” -pop-break.com

“They’ve made their name with their high-energy, interactive shows.” -pop-break.com

“Jeffrey Jameson’s fiddle playing is sure to get everyone’s foot tapping along. As awesome as these studio recordings are, these guys are really at their best during the live performances. Just like the saying “Everyone is Irish on St. Patrick’s Day”, everyone is Irish when listening to The Fighting Jamesons.” -Amazon.com reviewer

“Interactive and energetic Irish rock band… they sure do bring the fun!” -AltDaily.com
