Details:
This project is the result of many years of playing/performing at Renaissance festivals and Irish pubs across the country. I set out to create a CD that would be enjoyable outside of a Renaissance festival setting and I'm told I've succeeded. My infulences on this project are varied, but I think you can detect a strong Bluegrass / Appalachian undercurrent. I have a strong love for the blues, as can be heard on my version of 'Wild Rover'. All these tracks are of my own arrangement and/or composition (to be exact, 6 are original). Some are traditional Irish tunes, some are original, not-so-Irish songs. It's me on all the vocals and instruments (bouzouki, guitar, percussion). I sincerely hope you enjoy!
