Punch the Monkey

About Me

In a collection of veteran musicians from the Columbus area, we bring you a hard hitting blend of Celtic, rock, punk, blue grass, gypsy, Cajun, and other various folk styles or whatever strikes our fancy that day. The whole idea of Punch the Monkey is fun. So join us, grab a pint and be prepared to laugh, dance (or your closest approximation), and maybe have to call a cab at the end of the night. Very many happy mosh pittings to you all!
We play your favorites from Flogging Molly, The Pogues, The Mahones, The Tossers, The Young Dubliners, Great Big Sea, Spirit of the West, Dropkick Murphys, The Waterboys, Fiddler's Green, The Corrs and many more!

Hey you! If you like what we do, feel free to mosey up top there and add one of our tunes to your profile. It would truly make our lives special.

Our founder and mentor. Life isn't worth living if you can't monkey around.
