The Dropkick Murphys played a free concert in Quincy on Saturday and said that they owe the city “a debt of gratitude.”
The band, known for their songs “Shipping up to Boston” and “Teetie,” were playing the show as part of Quincy’s 400th birthday celebrations and for the release of their new album “For the People.”
“To have a free show almost 30 years into our career to celebrate our record release and Quincy’s birthday,” one of the lead singers of the band, Ken Casey, said. “And who doesn’t like free? It’s a free show.”
