Piper Pub & Grill - Saturday, Jan 31

I played my first live show at the Piper Pub & Grill on Saturday from 9:00 p.m. to 12:00 a.m. It was a light crowd, but a good one. :) It's great to have folks out there singing along and dancing to the rockin' tunes.

I'm looking forward to playing there again, maybe some time in March or April.

Bittercreek Ale House - Friday, Jan 23

I played at Bittercreek Ale House last night and had a great time. We playied from 10 p.m. to 1:00 a.m., which was a bit later than I'm used to. We had a really nice crowd for the first two sets. They actually listened, sang along and even noticed when a song ended! Amazing. :)

I was joined by Joe Young (penny whistle and sax) and Michael Spangler (guitar and vocals). It was our first time playing together as a trio and it went really well. I think it almost looked like we'd practiced.

O'Michael's Pub - Team Ireland Fundraiser

What a fun place to play! O'Michael's Pub was packed and it was a great crowd to play for. Joe Young joined in the fun playing Penny Whistle and Saxaphone. It's always great to play live with Joe. Will Martin also sat in for a few tunes like "This Land is Your Land" and "Grandfather's Clock." It's so fun to have live guests and just go for it without practicing the tune.

The Irish Tiernen Dancers performed mid way through the evening. They put on a great show and are a lot of fun to watch.

We did a lot of new tunes that night - lot's a great Irish tunes and some pop standards. The crowd would have liked more rebel songs, but I only had a few on hand (Sean South and Roddy McCorley). Guess I need to work up a few more of those.
