I love Things Celtic... the store that is. Not only do some of the nicest people in Austin work there, but they are kind enough to host independent musicians like me. I also play with the Brobdingnagian Bards quite regularly. Things Celtic gives me a great opportunity to share songs I don't get to play.

Consequently, the shows are always different. Whether it's the Valentine's Day Show with a bunch of Irish love songs that I don't play regularly, or it's an abundance of Cat songs, the show is always loads of fun.

My next solo show is the day before Father's Day. So this is an extra challenge. I don't think I know that many father songs...

Whether I can think of some good Irish Father's Day type songs, have to write one or just find some other random fun and beautiful Irish music, it will be a grand time. And there's an added bonus...

Ever wanted to learn how to play the autoharp?

A few days ago, I got a phone call from a lady asking about the basics of learning autoharp. Well, I know my autoharp rather well, but I've never tried teaching how to play it. That's gonna change on the 18th. After the show, I will offer a free instructional on autoharp basics.

Bring an autoharp, tuner, and tuning wrench if you them. And I will be happy to help you get started at becoming an autoharper starting at 4:30pm.

Slainte!
