Sunday FMX Show at Young Dubliners in Concert

TEMECULA, CA – The Young Dubliners will be the musical highlight Sunday, June2 at the Temecula Valley Balloon and Wine Festival. The Young Dubliners is a Celtic rock band that has appeared on ABC's Jimmy Kimmel Live!, had songs featured in TV shows (Sons Of Anarchy, Human Target) and toured extensively as a headliner and as the opener for such a diverse list of artists as The Flaming Lips, Collective Soul, Jethro Tull, and Johnny Lang. Although the Young Dubliners sound is most commonly called 'Celtic Rock', the Irish influence is just one of many sounds to the versatile band. Several of the band members have no Irish roots of any kind. "That was always the idea", Keith Roberts, lead singer for the band explained. "The sound was always intended to be a hybrid because we all come from different backgrounds. Even though two of us are from Ireland, a lot of the music we listened to growing up wasn't Irish at all," Roberts added. Young Dubliners will perform on the Wine Garden Stage Sunday afternoon while the main stage is transformed into a freestyle motocross arena. Freestyle Motocross Shows featuring FX Game champions, Metal Mulisha teammates, and an international cast of dare devil riders are set for noon and 3 p.m. Riders who have performed in the past include: Jimmy Fitzpatrick, Todd Potter, Taka, Ox-Jeff Cargola, Wes Agee, Ryan Hagy, Australian riders Jackson Strong and Robbie Alberg and Cito Vascas from Brazil. Riders for the 2012 show will be announced at a later date.
