ABOUT US

Paddy on the Binge was born from weekly Irish music sessions among friends in Davis, California. Taking their name from a tune played in those early gatherings, Paddy on the Binge brings lively tunes and authentic songs to communities across Northern California, infusing shows with infectious, energetic dance music, while keeping the warmth and intimacy of a session at your cozy local pub.
