From a ten-day tour of the former Soviet Union to eighteen shows at Dollywoodâs Valley Theater in the heart of Tennessee, the General Guinness Band has performed the songs and music of Ireland for over 28 years. Hundreds of concert programs and festivals, countless traditional music sessions, a number of television and radio programs, and even a guest appearance with the Chieftans have allowed the band to share their music far and wide.

This was the second recording by the band. The title was selected to honor Kim, who after 13 years with the band moved to Milwaukee with her husband, former Pipe Major Michael Mulholand. It features Still Leaving, a song written and recorded by the band, was selected for an American Public Radio Special the year it was released.
