The band currently includes 6 members: Derek McRotten, Stewart McNealy, Dr. Johny "Daddy" Hyena, Suavo, & Marcus Bunch. Their music is considered Appalachian punk rock.
The band was formed in March of 2003 with 2 original members: Benjamin Whitehead and Derek McRotten. Shortly after the first few shows, Johny joined the band along with a drummer by the name of "Billy Badass Ryan" (Ryan was on the self titled release). Soon after that Guido joined the band followed by Suavo.
This lineup remained unchanged for the next 2 albums (2:The Wake) (3:Blood, Rust, Whiskey).
March 2010 the band signed onto "I hate Punk Rock Records" for a vinyl release titled "Dark Luck"
Winter of 2011 the band saw change with the retirement of co-founder Benjamin Whitehead.
2013 marked 10 years for Cutthroat Shamrock.
March 16th the band released the first single with the new lineup after Whitehead's leave, titled "Dead Wind"
In 2013 after the release of the "Dead Wind" EP, Cutthroat Shamrock released their 4th full length album titled "A Path Less Traveled"
Guido left the band in March of 2014 and Stewart McNealy filled his place.
On March 17th 2016 (a Thursday) at 8pm, Cutthroat Shamrock walked onto the stage of Market Square for the last time. The crowd was large, a few thousand large. The band played it's first show exactly 13 Saint Patrick's Days ago. The weather was perfect, the beer was cold. Late members of the band were there for one last show, Guido and Benjamin joined for a handful of songs. The night ended with the traditional Wild Rover and the 7 gentlemen rode off into the sunset. The plan was a simple one, to go out with a bang instead of a fizzle....
Alternate ending:
After a short hiatus the fellas returned in March 2018 with a double Saint Patrick's Day show at Scruffy City Hall in Knoxville Tennessee.
In June of 2019 (years since the last release) they compiled 20 songs to be titled "The Dregs". Released on digital formats, this collection celebrated lost recordings from the early years.
As of March 2022: 19 years later them boys still play music, mostly local East Tennessee shows.

I like to re-visit this video because I love the song, the band, and this version, but also because 2009-2011 were magickal times in this Dirty Old Town and CTS was right in the middle of it all. This video shows the town as it was then and so very much has changed since.
So glad these guys are back together!!
GO RAIBH MAITH AGAT!
