18 years ago, on July 8, 2005, I quit my day job to be a full-time musician. I had three more fantastic years with Andrew McKee and Brobdingnagian Bards before we split up and reunited in 2018 for more great shows and albums. I released over 20 solo albums since then. I collaborated with a […]

Postcard: Yuletide
My friend, Nancy Flynn, sent me a couple hobbit-themed song lyrics a decade ago. The first track, “Christmas in the Shire”, is still one of my favorite songs on Celtic Christmas Greetings. I finally recorded her song “Yuletide” last year. It is such a delightful song. It evokes so many memories and a wonderful feeling […]
NEXT WEEK: Live-streaming Concert Nov 2022

I’m alone in my empty house at last. Over the holidays, we visited family in California. It was a great visit despite cold […]
Postcard: Cloghden More
It was just some rubble. A thousand year old rubble. How incredible that people could and would build such things. No wonder I was inspired to write an Irish tune from the remains of this spellbinding passage tomb.
