PARAMUS, N.J. – Ten days before Saint Patrick’s Day, Black 47 will bring Irish rock to Bergen County. The group will visit Bergen Community College Friday, March 7 for a 7:30 p.m. show in the Anna Maria Ciccone Theatre at the school’s main campus, 400 Paramus Road, Paramus.
For more than 20 years, the political-tinged rockers have covered topics from the Northern Ireland conflict to the Iraq War and the struggle of the middle-class. According to Time, “the proletariat passion of Black 47’s songs … make the group stand out.”
