Ken Casey, the frontman for Boston-based Celtic-punk band Dropkick Murphys, talks about the role artists play when it comes to activism. “In a time like this,” Casey says, “the most selfish thing you could do [is] to shut up and sing.”

Dropkick Murphys are set to play at the Palace Theatre in St. Paul on Friday, March 6. Earlier that same day, at 1 p.m., Dropkick Murphys will join Wild Colonial Bhoys, Danza Ketzal, Brass Solidarity, Kiss the Tiger, Sophie Hiroko, Chutes, Obi Original, the Shackletons, and Laamar for “Abolish Ice: A Fundraiser for the People,” being held at the Black Forest Inn near the Alex Pretti Memorial on Nicollet Avenue in Minneapolis. Attendance is free, but concert and livestream will help raise funds for organizations that are directly assisting individuals, families, and small businesses across the Twin Cities.

More info about both of these shows is available at thecurrent.org/giglist.
