In one hand, a pint of Mudder’s Milk, in the other a bottle of Romulan Ale. Sing and laugh along with this Celtic Geek musical gem. A Jedi saunters up to the bar at the Pub at the End of the Universe. “Gimme a Romulan Ale.” “I’m sorry,” the Publican replies, “That’s still illegal.” “What?! […]
Some bands give away 1-3 MP3s to promote their music. I’ve been doing this long enough to realize that just isn’t enough. If you really want to get to know someone’s music, you need a good album to listen to, freely, and on repeat. Then, you’ll fall in love with it. That’s my philosophy anyway. […]

I love performing at Sci Fi conventions. There are many reasons. A lot of Celtic music fans at conventions are also geeks like me. Or Celtic Geeks as I like to call us. I also love the fact that I get to play for audiences who actually WANT to hear my music. That’s a nice […]

I got to chat with Jared Billeaud, one of the drummers and singers with the Whiskey Bay Rovers. He also came up with the original idea for the song “Reavers, Malcolm, Reavers” that went on my CD, “Sci Fi Drinking Songs”. We talked a wee bit about how he got started with music and the […]

It’s #CelticThursday. Each and every week, I’m gonna share a song from one of my albums until I can’t do any more. Then who knows what will happen. This week, I have a song inspired by Joss Whedon’s Firefly and Serenity. It’s called “Browncoats Keep Flyin’” and features lyrics by the magnificent Rie Sheridan Rose. […]
Yesterday, I posted a blog about about a guy who said, “I don’t pay for music!”. I got a lot of great responses. I want to clarify a couple things. First, the guy said specifically, “I don’t pay for music” not for “CDs” like I mentioned in the post. If it was CDs, that’d make sense. More […]
