Fans of Irish rock band Inhaler celebrated St. Patrick’s Day the right way at NYC’s Hammerstein Ballroom.
Decked out in green complete with light-up cowboy hats, clover headbands, and lots of body glitter – the line to enter wrapped around the block early in the afternoon as the crowd anticipated Inhaler’s return to U.S. soil.
The four-piece band took the stage and launched into “These Are The Days,” a track from their sophomore album Cuts & Bruises released a month ago; followed by fan-favorite “My Honest Face” and “Totally” from their 2021 debut album It Won’t Always Be Like This.

Vocalist Eli Hewson rocked out in his leather jacket, while bassist Robert Keating and guitarist Josh Jenkinson followed suit with drummer Ryan McMahon proudly wearing green for the occasion.
The bands hour-long 14-song setlist consisted of 7 tracks from their debut album including “When It Breaks,” “My King Will Be Kind,” “In My Sleep,” “Who’s Your Money On (Plastic House,” and “Cheer Up Baby” as well as 7 tracks from Cuts & Bruises: “So Far So Good,” “Just To Keep You Satisfied,” “The Things I Do,” “Valentine,” “Love Will Get You There,” and “Dublin in Ecstasy.”
The band closed out their show with “If You’re Gonna Break My Heart” and “It Won’t Always Be Like This” before proudly holding up an Irish flag and thanking fans as they left the stage.
