Dropkick Murphys announcement!!!: “We had such a great time doing the acoustic recordings down in Tulsa, Oklahoma that we ended up cutting two albums of our songs with the lyrics of Woody Guthrie.

So we’re thrilled to announce ‘Okemah Rising’, the second and final collection of Tulsa recordings. This one features guest performances by folk punk pioneers Violent Femmes, our friend Jesse Ahern from Quincy, Mass., and Jaime Wyatt.

Those who came to the Europe tour over the last seven weeks heard us play ‘Gotta Get To Peekskill’ and ‘I Know How It Feels’ from Okemah Rising. We’re looking forward to playing those songs in US on the upcoming St. Patrick’s Day tour – which kicks off next week in Charlotte, NC!!”

‘Okemah Rising’ comes out May 12 on CD, LP and on streaming services worldwide.

You can preorder CD and VINYL NOW — directly from the DKM web store.

The web store exclusive vinyl color is: GREY+WHITE SUNBURST combo.
