After a show-stopping performance this past November, the beloved Paperboys return to celebrate the luck O’ the Irish at TOC!
Celebrating their 25th anniversary year, Vancouver Canadian musician Tom Landa, is looking back on the legacy of his much-loved folk rock band The Paperboys. For a quarter century, The Paperboys have been touring the world and lighting up stages with their freewheeling blend of influences from Celtic and bluegrass, to Mexican son jarocho, brass bands, and Canadian roots. They have been called everything from Cajun slamgrass to worldbeat, they’ve received a Juno award (Canadian Grammy), plus two Juno nominations, two West Coast Music Awards, released nine albums, and regularly play two-night bills in the Pacific Northwest. But that’s not what matters to Landa now. “What means more to me than anything else is to receive letters, emails, or hear stories from people who tell me that our songs helped them through a tough time, or that they used one of our songs for their wedding, or that an album of ours was the soundtrack of their summer. At the end of the day, accolades are nice, but they are nothing compared to connecting with people.” Landa’s song ‘Better Than The Last’ has become somewhat of an anthem for people who have gone through hard times.

Little blue grass jams to celebrate the holiday?!?! Sounds like a perfect prize!
Mixes of Cajun, Celtic and bluegrass. That’s a brilliant trifecta!
I’d love to go here to celebrate St. Patrick’s Day. I’m part Irish.
Sounds lime a slammin’ good time for St. Pat’s! Would love ta go!
I was a paper boy when I was a little kid so I can relate to this!
Have yet to enjoy slamgrass!
I was a paperboy once. I’ll be a fan of Celtic music always.
I’m moving to Portland March 16th – oh and my middle name is Patrick
I’ve been a fan since Molinos, but I haven’t had a chance to see them since Seattle sometime in the early 2000’s. Obviously we haven’t been out much at all in two years- this would be a great start!!
PAper, scissors, these guys rock! I’m in!
Paper, scissor, these guys rock!
Luck of the Irish may we win these!!
I’ll wear green to this one
We’d love to go!
would love to go!
It’s two days after St. Uhro’s Day so I’ll be ready for more fun.
I dance because I love dancing and I dance for stress relief and I dance because it is the best way to be in a community..right on the dance floor! And these guys rock for listening and dancing! And we’ll, it’s St Paddy’s day… so, gotta celebrate!
This sounds like a blast.
Growing up, my dad always had me dance a jig for the people at his St. Patrick’s Day party. He’s gone, but I still love St. Patrick’s day. A Paperboys concert sounds like the perfect celebration (as long as I don’t have to jig:).
I need some good crac.
So I am Irish AND I was a Paper GIRL 🙂
And it is my sons birthday the day you select a winner- March 14th
so I am feeling lucky. Thanks!
Count on me!
Lucky timing! Love it.
I googled “cajun slamgrass,” and got a lot of hits for Leftover Salmon. Do The Paperboys sound like Leftover Salmon? What better way to get to the bottom of this, while celebrating the holiday, than to go to this concert!
Awesome way to celebrate ST P’s day!
I’ve been avoiding crowds for so long. It is time to get out and have some fun. I knew there was a connection between Bluegrass and Celtic music. Thank you
This looks like an amazing blend of music! Would love to check it out in person!
We would love to go! We work so much and would enjoy a day away from it all to celebrate….
Ooooh this looks like something I would love!
Erin Go Bragh! This would be a most excellent way to celebrate St. Patty’s!!!! This Irish lass very much hopes you pick me and my friend for some fun craic!!
