The Vagabond Saints play The Waterboys

The Vagabond Saints’ Society has waited patiently for many years for the right time to pay tribute to one of their favorite cult albums – The Waterboys’ 1988 classic, “Fisherman’s Blues.”

 Join us on November 7, 2025, at The Wake Forest Listening Room as the VSS performs “Fisherman’s Blues” in its entirety, featuring Doug Davis on lead vocals, as well as a selection of other Waterboys favorites featuring a selection of Triad & Triangle singers! Doors at 6:45 PM, show at 7:30 PM.

“Fisherman’s Blues” was the fruit of an intense reevaluation of the Waterboys’ previous anthemic post-punk, filtered through a new fascination with traditional Irish forms and instrumentation.

The result is neither rock ’n roll nor authentic “trad” music, but something all its own, in-between, rooted in the deeply passionate and Romantic writing of bandleader, Mike Scott. #vss #thewaterboys #fishermansblues #tribute #wakeforestlisteningroom #supportlivemusic
