Woden, IA (PRWEB) January 10, 2006 -- The Roadside Boys is a musical collaboration of the Harrington and the Mahoney families. Tom Harrington plays lead guitar, John Harrington plays banjo, Dr. Bill Harrington is on mandolin, Joe Harrington strokes the zydeco tie, Mary (Harrington) Mahoney plays accordian and young Jon Mahoney brings it all together with his self-taught style on the Irish whistle.

The Roadside Boys first played on RAGBRAI, the Des Moines Register's annual bike ride across Iowa, in July 2005. The band was set up by the road in front of the family farm, now operated by Paul Harrington. Also on the farmyard was the pink school bus of "Mr. Pork Chop" - a perennial favorite among RAGBRAI riders.

...their music sure helped carry a couple of our features.

...music so good it should be on the radio.

And John Campbell, Sports Director for KCRG-TV9 in Cedar Rapids and RAGBRAI reporter commented "...their music sure helped carry a couple of our features." Wayne, an expert, calls it "...music so good it should be on the radio."

"Double Irish Trouble" is available through the band's website, http://www.roadsideboys.com. There are free sample downloads on the site also. Any proceeds from the sale of the $6 CD will benefit the Poweshiek County food bank.
