Ed Sheeran Gives Surprise Performance At Boston Pub For St. Patrick’s Day

Ed Sheeran surprised a St. Patrick’s Day crowd at a Boston Irish pub with an impromptu acoustic performance alongside the Irish folk band Beoga. Sheeran shared clips of his celebratory set on Instagram, which featured the pop superstar playing hits like “Galway Girl,” “Shape of You,” and “Nancy Mulligan,” while endearing himself further with the Boston audience by wearing a Celtics shirt on stage. “Boston for Paddy’s day with @beogamusic, what a gaff,” Sheeran captioned his post. The British singer’s impromptu Boston show continues his series of surprise performances throughout the US over the holiday weekend, popping up in New Orleans on Saturday (March 15) and performing with local group Soul Rebels Brass Band on a parade through the city’s French Quarter. Sheeran followed that up with a surprise performance at Tootsie’s World Famous Orchid Lounge in Nashville on Sunday, playing a spirited rendition of “Take Me Home, Country Roads” alongside his friend Jackson Capps, before hitting up his first-ever writers round at the legendary Bluebird Cafe, where he was joined by country stars Megan Moroney, Amy Allen, and David Hodges.
