The Jollies

we play what we want

The Jollies are a Celtic punk band hailing from Mobile, Alabama known for their passionate live shows and infectious energy.

Brothers Stephen and Daniel Wainwright have made music together all of their lives, experimenting with a wide range of genres including bluegrass, alternative rock, traditional Americana and everything in between.

The pause that came with The Plague of 2020 gave the brothers some down time to reflect on what was important and reinvent themselves again. The previous three-piece alt rock line up has been filled out with family members bringing fiddles, banjos accordions, flutes and bagpipes to create a hard-hitting punk backdrop to traditional Celtic melodies.

The Jollies are currently booking venues and festivals across the southeast, playing original music, traditional Celtic tunes, and covers from Celtic rock standards such as Flogging Molly and The Pogues.  Contact us for additional information and booking requests.
