(NEW BRUNSWICK, NJ) -- State Theatre New Jersey presents Shamrock Tenors on Saturday, March 15, 2025 at 8:00pm. Ireland's most exciting new music sensation is performing at STNJ as part of the inaugural North American Tour.

Direct from Belfast, Shamrock Tenors features performers from both sides of the community across Northern Ireland, with vocalists from London’s West End and the country's best multi-instrumentalists. Their show takes you on a journey through Ireland’s most beloved classic songs—in beautiful five-part harmony—including “Danny Boy,” “Whiskey in the Jar,” “The Parting Glass,” and “Wild Rover.”

2024 saw the Shamrock Tenors headline the BBC’s St. Patrick’s Day coverage across the entire UK and Ireland, with the launch of their debut concert special on BBC2 and BBC4 and went on to sell out their West End debut at the Adelphi Theatre in London’s West End. Last year also saw the Shamrock Tenors headline their first-ever Irish national tour. Their first two singles shot straight to #1 on the iTunes World Music Charts, whilst their performances online have received over seven million views. They’ve traveled to over 30 countries as a group, including Irish festivals in the U.S. and sold-out shows in iconic venues such as the Ulster Hall in Belfast and Birmingham Symphony Hall in England.

Tickets range from $39-$99 and are available for purchase online or by calling State Theatre Guest Services at 732-246-SHOW (7469). State Theatre Guest Services, located at 15 Livingston Ave, New Brunswick NJ, is open by phone and email only, Tuesday through Friday from 11:00am to 5:00pm.

After major renovations, State Theatre New Jersey celebrated its 100th Anniversary in December 2021 in a fully renovated theater. Originally built as a silent film and vaudeville palace, State Theatre’s historic significance was honored by PBS by featuring it in its documentary series, Treasures of New Jersey, in the fall of 2018. “Treasures of New Jersey: State Theatre New Jersey” can be streamed online.
