Known for the use of traditional instruments and world renowned, high energy live performances of Irish punk, the Dropkick Murphys have taken the banjo into a new genre. In songs like “I’m Shipping Up To Boston” and at live shows, audiences get to see what can be done on a banjo when one steps out of the box.
Te Dropkick Murphys Banjo is a representation of the band, with their shield crest of anchors, shamrocks, and leaves on the traditionally shaped banjo headstock. Beautifully inlayed into the fingerboard in Italian Pearloid are the band’s name in Old English letering, two classic shamrocks, and a banner proudly supporting “Boston” at its base to highlight their hometown. Curly maple wood is used for the neck and resonator on this model. What is unique about the Dropkick Murphys Model is that it is one of the lightest professional banjos made. Its tone ring is made out of grenadillo wood rather than metal. Tis gives it a bright, warm sound, and most of all makes it easy to dance with on stage! When Jeff DaRosa, the band’s banjo player, played the very first Dropkick Murphys Deering Banjo, he said, “Tis thing rules! Tis is the best banjo I’ve ever played!”
With the goal of making this available to all Dropkick Murphys fans, Deering has made a twin model in the Goodtime line with the same special artwork engraved proudly on the neck. Made with a violin grade maple rim, the Goodtime models are the most affordable banjos one can get while still having a professional level of sound. Tis is ideal for both beginners and anyone wanting a banjo they can take anywhere. Te Goodtime model is also available in a resonator and an openback style.
