The Claddagh Fund was founded in Boston in 2009 by Ken Casey of the Dropkick Murphys. Ken, his bandmates and their families have supported charities throughout the history of the band. Understanding the power of their position to harness the passion and generosity of their fans, the Claddagh Fund was created to raise funds for and broaden our impact on worthy, underfunded non-profits that support the most vulnerable individuals in our communities.
SOOP is a rock band from Boston, the South Shore and NYC. Formed in 2023, the band consists of Mike Suppappola on lead guitar and vocals, Matt Jill on bass, Alex Cunnane on guitar and Brian Gale on drums. While the band loves to play all genres of music, they focus on high energy songs with psychedelic and jam flavors. In addition to covers, the group is working on writing original songs for their first album.
Your donation is supporting our bands fundraising efforts as we compete with the other bands to reach our fundraising goal for the Claddaugh Fund. You can also purchase tickets separately to attend the event in person on Sunday June 7th, at Soundcheck Studios in Pembroke MA starting at 3:00 PM.
