There’s a new podcast online today. I’ll tell you more about it in a moment, after I share a postcard from Ballincollig Castle in County Cork, Ireland. There are just two more weeks until the CD Release of Selcouth. I can’t wait. I’m Really proud of the new CD. It has, like, all of my […]
I know very little about the Atlanta Celtic music scene. That’s one of the reasons I hired Catherine Tully to write some articles about the scene. I moved to Atlanta almost three years ago. The bands I used to know are no longer performing together. I wanted to get to know my new community. And […]
I confess I was a bit surprised when I came to Atlanta and couldn’t find many Celtic musicians. Admittedly, I don’t fit into most Irish sessions. A singer who plays autoharp just doesn’t work great. Nevertheless, it’s important to support our local communities. It strengthens the community and brings people together. That’s even more important […]
You know that phrase “Buy Local”. It’s not just about buying to me. It’s about supporting your local community or communities. I play Celtic music in Atlanta, Georgia. So I am highlighting Atlanta Celtic musicians, music, and culture in this latest blog feature with Duncan McLauchlan. My next CD, Selcouth, will be out on February 14. “Selcouth” […]
I saw something interesting last year. It was about the legacy of St Patrick. I saw several memes pointing out darker side of St Patrick’s Day. I feel like a day of reckoning is coming. Much like it came with Christopher Columbus and other historical figures and holidays. First let me say, I am not […]

It feels like the holidays just ended yesterday. The girls were in virtual school last week. Everyone was home. I was like the class monitor. Today, the girls went back to school. I’m alone in my empty house at last. Over the holidays, we visited family in California. It was a great visit despite cold […]

Every “best of” list is a difficult thing to compile. While it so great to be able to share a collection of wonderful bands, it never sums up all of the wonderful music being made throughout the year. This is as true twenty years ago as it is today. That said, certain Celtic bands just […]
The Muckers are an Atlanta-based Celtic band with a punk flair. I asked them to record on my next CD, Selcouth. The album comes out on February 14. I thought The Muckers would make a great start to a new blog series where I highlight Celtic music groups from my new home, Atlanta, Georgia. The […]
