Kellys Bar
DJ Kid kongo kicks off from 10pm followed by The Window Sessions with
The Rye live from midnight until late
The Rye are a four-piece based in Galway, Ireland, playing savage driven ceol. Their music is a lively fusion with Irish roots, including elements of Irish traditional, country, reggae, folk, rock, blues and soul. Some highlights of The Rye’s busy gigging schedule -over one hundred gigs in 2009 - including Electric Picnic, The Life Festival, support slots to Mary Coughlan, Delorentos, The Pale, two Tours of Germany, including an open air gig for the St. Patrick's Day Celebrations in Munich with an audience of over fifteen thousand.
Galway Bay FM has described The Rye as "the liveliest band to come out of the West of Ireland since the Saw Doctors." Their weekly appearances at The Cellar Bar in Galway were praised as "one of the most exciting residencies in Galway!"
A gig with The Rye is high-spirited, full-blown entertainment. "Not only does the band have that really fantastic ability to make even a stone statue tap its feet, they also have this amazing stage energy and presence that makes it difficult to turn away once

This Saturday night DJ Ted kicks off from 10pm with The Converse Allstars playing live from midnight until late.
The Allstars are a rock, blues, soul and funk cover band playing everything from James Brown to Vampire Weekend to Tom Waits to Prince. Formed in 2004, the band's five members are experienced professional musicians who have played in a variety of cover, themed and original bands including The God Damn Liars, The Glitterbugs, FYC, Tightrope and Lucas.
The band's upbeat energetic stage show is a thrilling and exhilarating spectacle which will keep the crowd dancing from the first song to the last.

Senakah
Saturday, May 19, 2012
Upstairs At Kellys
May 18th sees the release of the digital single ‘The Frontline’ by Limerick band Senakah.
The track, produced by Noel Hogan (Cranberries, Mono Band) was recorded in the Bishop's Palace, Limerick and is the second track to appear from the band's forthcoming second album, 'Human Relations'. With the release of the previous single 'Human Relations' the band were confident they might achieve a measure of success in Ireland (and they did, the single was played heavily on Today FM and many of the regional stations) but nothing prepared them for the success the band have experienced in China. After an eagle eyed Chinese YouTube viewer tweeted about the songs video it was posted on the Chinese equivalent of YouTube, Sohu TV, where it rose to the number four spot in the MTV online chart, beating off the likes of Adele and Madonna and sticking around long enough to clock up 375,000 hits and counting.
The current single 'The Frontline' tackles the murky theme of bullying but it's no exercise in navel-gazing, rather it's a blistering guitar driven pop gem

Alejandro Escovedo & the Sensitive Boys
Friday, June 29th, 2012
Upstairs At Kellys
On June 5th, Texas singer-songwriter Alejandro Escovedo will release his 11th solo LP, Big Station, the followup to his 2010 album Street Songs of Love. “Man of the World,” the album’s first single, is a spunky song that explores the struggles faced by a cosmopolitan man. “‘Man of the World’ was written in the spirit of the great radio hits of the late Fifties, early Sixties by artists like the Who, Eddie Cochran and Gene Vincent,” says Escovedo. “The lyrics are a humorous take on a man of the world.”
Doors: 8pm
Tickets: €17.50 (Available in advance from Kellys Bar - 091 563804)
There are songwriters who sing their songs, and then there are songs who sing their writers.
Alejandro Escovedo is one with his muse and his music. Over a lifetime spent traversing the bridge between words and melody, he has ranged over an emotional depth that embraces all forms of genre and presentation, a resolute voice that weathers the emotional terrain of our lives, its celebrations and despairs, landmines and blindsides and upheavals and beckoning distractions, in search for ultimate release and the healing truth of honesty. Sometimes it takes the form of barely
