THE WALKER ROADERS

James Fearnley, a co-founder and the accordion player for The Pogues, has teamed up with Flogging Molly co-founder and Grammy Award-winning producer, Ted Hutt, and with Dropkick Murphys’s multi-instrumentalist, Marc Orrell, to form The Walker Roaders whose music splices the anthems of celtic-punk to the poetry of The Pogues.

Named for a street gang known to Fearnley as a youth in Manchester, their self-titled debut album was released in August 2019. The Walker Roaders are: James Fearnley (The Pogues) on accordion, Ted Hutt (Flogging Molly) on guitar, Marc Orrell (Dropkick Murphys), Brad Wood (storied producer of Liz Phair, Touché Amoré, Pete Yorn, Smashing Pumpkins) on bass and Bryan Head (Dick Dale, Roger Hodgson) on drums."
