Philly Got Lucky: Mike Campbell & The Dirty Knobs Celebrate St. Patrick’s Day In MAGNET’s Hometown

Somebody, somewhere, is still celebrating St. Patrick’s Day. It’s the 24-hour holiday that now seems to take up as much calendar time as the Twelve Days Of Christmas. But if you caught Mike Campbell & The Dirty Knobs at their sold-out show at Philadelphia’s World Cafe Live on St. Patrick’s Day, there was no reason to keep the party going after March 17. Playing with reckless abandon, Campbell and band dazzled with a 19-song set that included stellar songs from their two albums and five Tom Petty tunes, not to mention 2020 single “Irish Girl.” MAGNET photographer Wes Orshoski got lucky.
