Long-Haired Celtic Headbanger Loses Hair in Autoharp Accident
It was either 1996 or 1997 when I first decided to let my hair grow out. Even when it was a lot shorter people (and by people I mean women) seemed to like my hair. I decided to let it grow. In 1998, I quit my day job to become a musician. I failed miserably. […]
20 Best Irish Drinking Songs
I finally compiled the 20 best Irish drinking songs on one compilation CD called… wait for it… Best Irish Drinking Songs. The new album features drinking songs from several of my previous albums including: Not Every Day Is St. Patrick’s Day, Happy Songs of Death, Irish Drinking Songs: The Cat Lover’s Companion, and Soul of a Harper. In […]
Help Victims of Irish Music Top the Charts… Again
I just published a “Where are they now?” article about Victims of Irish Music. I first released the album in 2006. It continues to be one of my top-selling albums. But every year around St. Patrick’s Day, it drops on the charts as new albums are released. That’s fine, but I want to see it […]
Brilliant Folk Musicians Might Not Make the Best Rockers
There’s a running joke among my friends that one day I’ll “sell out” and record my Celtic rock album. It’s true I’d love to release a Celtic rock album. I started out as a rock musician after all, not a Celtic folk musician. I played guitar with Skander and Breastfed before I found my calling […]
Manic Mondays Breaks the 300 Episode Barrier
One of my absolute favorite podcasts is Manic Mondays, the show that makes you laugh on Monday mornings so you don’t rip your arm off when you have to go to work. While I no longer suffer the displeasure of having to go back to work on Monday, I still love the show. It makes […]

I finally got a chance to download and use Spotify. I downloaded it because I wanted music to romance my wife on Valentine’s Day. I learned a lot about it. I’m gonna share the good and the bad of Spotify. Spotify Review from the Fan’s Perspective I drank the Kool-Aid. Spotify rocks! Yup. There is […]
Marching On…
Like February itself, or winter in Texas, the shiny side of Valentine’s Day doesn’t quite last long enough. Other holidays have a full month to show their decorations, but as February winds to a close, we have only a hint of the memory of pink and red hearts—though February is American Heart Month. The decorations […]
Alabama Celtic Music
St. Patrick’s Day is rapidly approaching. I thought I’d spend this weekend in between shows prepping for the weeks to come, but alas, no time. I have lots of geeky Celtic music to play. Instead, I thought I’d share some of the Alabama Celtic music from my neck of the woods. I started a website […]
Cool artsy flier
Things I wish I did. Cool artsy fliers. I spent 16 years in austin admiring all the flier art. I can’t help but wish I was a halfway decent artist and could design cool fliers. But me… Not so much. Ah well…
