I have a busy St Patrick’s Day in Atlanta weekend ahead of me. I’m gonna be in the St Patrick’s Day parade with my daughter, Inara. Then in the evening, I’ll be at Ironshield Brewing for a St Patrick’s Day party to remember. Then you’ll find me on Sunday at Three Taverns Brewery in Decatur. […]

I wish I could say I was booked at the Georgia Renaissance Festival this year. Alas, they didn’t respond to my emails. It turned out okay though. I have a FULL schedule in the coming months, including a bunch of St Patrick’s Day shows in the Atlanta area. Check my calendar for details. In the […]
One of my goals this year is to promote my local community. You’ve heard the phrase “buy local”. I also want to promote local. But what is “local”? Local might be proximity like these Atlanta Celtic Music articles. However, it is also what your community is. For me, it’s the Sci F’Irish community. It’s a […]
We are less than two weeks away from the release of my next studio album, Selcouth. “Selcouth” means, “when everything is strange and different, yet you find it marvelous anyway.” It’s a beautiful album…with a pinch of the Celtic. Years and years ago, I was told I didn’t play Celtic music. I’ll be honest. It hurt. […]
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” […]
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 […]
