So all your friends are down in Austin, TX or at least it seems like all the best shows and cool kids are having fun in the sun at SXSW this week? Have a case of the south-by-blues? Well, just start ignoring those #sxsw tweets and FB updates, the endless showcases/ninja parties/back alley hoedowns/rooftop mashups, or any of the officially sponsored branded affairs with swag bags... Why? It's Saint Patrick's Day weekend in Philly and there's plenty going on around our fair city that they're all missing out on.

Here are some shows that you should check out this weekend in and around Philadelphia. Many are Irish/Celtic related, some are not. All are real, live music played by real people to get your blood pumping this weekend. Who needs to go to South-by-Southwest, when they come to us?
