Jesse Malin – live gallery & review from Set Theatre, Kilkenny Roots Festival 04.05.2025

I could have sworn I saw people hanging from the rafters (if it had them) in Set Theatre Kilkenny as people crammed into every available space in the venue to see American rock musician, guitarist, and songwriter Jessie Malin and band do their thing and man did they do just that. I would think if I walked down by the venue today its still rocking to the rock sounds of tunes like Oh Sheena / She Don’t Love Me Now and Rudie Can’t Fail to name a few of the tunes that were played.


The venue was hotter than an over after not to long but the tunes were even hotter as Jessie and guys blasted through a monumental twenty three song set, giving the packed room all they wanted and more.
