DKM x MH Contest – Win Two Tickets to “In the Archives with Ken Casey”

SHARE THIS ARTICLE

Ken Casey is no stranger to telling a good story. From smash hits like “I’m Shipping Up to Boston” to deep cuts like “Boys on the Docks,” chances are he’s written a song about Massachusetts that resonates with you in some way.

Leading up to our event honoring Ken on September 25, we’re launching a contest to see what YOU find inspiring about Ken and Dropkick Murphys. We’re inviting you to pick any Dropkick Murphys song and creatively respond to it. This could include:

  • Doing a cover of a song
  • Making a painting inspired by song lyrics
  • Writing a short essay about seeing the band perform live
  • Creating an original dance
  • Writing a poem

The list is endless. As long as it’s originalcreative, and uses the humanities to talk about the band, it counts!

After watching the brief overview video below, be sure to read the complete contest rules on our website before you submit your work. Good luck!
