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 […]
This June, I’m bringing a small group of people to Westport, Ireland. Westport is part of the Wild Atlantic Way. That’s a spectacular, scenic route from Irishowen in County Donegal all the way down the west coast of Ireland to Kinsale in County Cork. It’s broken up into 14 stages, two of which are in […]
I am finishing up the itinerary for this year’s Celtic Invasion of County Mayo, Ireland. It’s a good time to finally take a look at last year’s invasion. I kept a daily journal with lots of short bullet points so that I could be sure to remember everything as it happened. So let’s get started. […]

In 2017, my family traveled back to New Orleans for a crawfish boil with friends. We stopped at a park and then the Audubon Butterfly Garden & Insectarium for my girls to enjoy some butterflies. I recorded video of our trip. The music features “Leaving of Liverpool” is on Marc Gunn & Jamie Haeuser’s album […]
We took a trip to Chicago back in 2018 when I performed at FuMPFest. I captured some wonderful video from the trip. I set it to music from my album How America Saved Irish Music that I recorded with Jamie Haueser. Look how small my girls are!
It’s with great excitement and nervousness that I announce the Celtic Invasion of Loch Lomond. We are heading back to Scotland on June 4-11, 2022. We are staying 20 minutes from the bonnie banks of Loch Lomond at the Castle Invergare in Helensburgh, Scotland. There’s a lot going on in the world right now. Covid […]
I had trouble maintaining a detailed journal on last few year’s Celtic Invasion Vacations. So this year, I kept a very short step-by-step journal to share what happened. You can use this as a sort of reference of what happens on other trips. I’ll try to add details in other blogs later. Look for links […]
It must be tough making a profit as an airline. There are so many unpredictable things that happen. And yet some airlines standout as exceptional. Others, like American Airlines, just dig their grave faster and faster, waiting for the next government bailout when they deserve to go under. I used to love American Airlines. They […]
I feel I missed something important about my music these past ten years or so. Listeners don’t just want to listen. They want to be a part of the music. After eating dinner tonight, a large group of Invaders visited an Irish session at O’Connor’s Courthouse Pub in Dingle. I was a bit late. I […]
