The Pourmen is a New Bedford, MA based band that blends diverse Celtic, Folk, Country and Punk Rock influences to craft heartfelt songs from the “Cobblestone Streets and Salty Pubs of the Whaling City” and always delivers a rousing live performance.
The Pourmen was established in January 2013 and played their first hometown show on Saint Patrick’s Day 2013. The band has since performed more than 350 shows at festivals, breweries, Irish pubs and other venues across the New England states encouraging folks to sing along to their tall tales and Irish classics.
As one reviewer noted, “If there were a maritime saloon located near a port city in Ireland, The Pourmen would be the house band, never stopping except to fill or empty their drinks.” – Bobby Forand, Motif Magazine, Providence, RI
The Pourmen have also supported touring acts such as The Dropkick Murphys, Flogging Molly, Gaelic Storm, Derek Warfield & the Young Dubliners, Flatfoot 56, The Tossers, The Mahones, The Kilmaine Saints, The Rumjacks and The Real McKenzies. Songs performed by The Pourmen can also be heard in beer commercials (DOT Ale, Moby Dick Brewery) and in a movie (“Whaling City”).
The Pourmen recently announced that they will shipping off for an Ireland Tour in 2026 with stops in Dublin, Kilkenny, Cork and Galway! The Pourmen are Katie Cooke (Fiddle), John Curtin (Tin Whistle, Mandolin), Kris Motta (Bass), Alex
Platt (Guitars), Rick Bennett (Tenor Banjo) and Ed Cardenas (Drums).
Armed with her cittern, a mandolin-on-steroids, Carol will be firing off kickass Irish tunes and songs from trad to contemporary.
Carol is a member of the N. H. State Council On the Arts Traditional Arts and Folklife Listing. She also hosts two radio shows on WUNH radio, Aegean Connection on Saturdays and The Ceili Show on Sundays.
