St. Louis Irish Music Street Beat: Irish Xiles at O’Malley’s
After two years of not-so-near misses, I finally was in the same room as the Irish Xiles, recently. On the way home from an early show, I stopped by O’Malley’s in the South St Louis Cherokee area, and caught a few songs.
Lively and fun, they sang many of the same songs as I, but a bit more as I remember my granddad singing. Add a bass and keys, and it’s like being in front of the hearth, again, for a few laid back songs with requests from the back. These requests were a bit less encumbered than even some of those made at my shows. (You know who you are, boys!)
I look forward to seeing them around, and maybe playing a festival with the Irish Xiles.
Cheers!
