Inspiration is a funny friend. It finds you and guides you. It takes you to strange and wonderful places. It introduces you to heroes. I started playing Celtic music in 1999... by accident. I had three "Celtic" songs in my song repertoire: "The Scotsman", "Irish Ballad" by Tom Lehrer, and an original Enya-esque song with nonsensical lyrics called "Lounging in La La Land". I was practicing on the S...

If it wasn't for America, the traditional music of Ireland might no longer exist. America saved Irish music. That's the premise behind my 2014 album I recorded with Jamie Haeuser, How America Saved Irish Music. I expected more of a backlash when I released the album title that was a parody of the book How the Irish Saved Civilization. I only got one nasty email. I started immersing myself in Irish...

Pubs are often dark places. I'm sure dark things have been discussed. Maybe I'm naive, but I don't feel they are any darker than what we find on social media. I don't like social media. It brings out the worst in people. It makes the world a more vile place than it actually is. And so I avoid it, like the plague. Fair comparison. That's one of the big reasons I changed things up this year. But bef...

Sometimes the things that matter most to us don't matter as much to those we serve.  The Bridge is still one of my favorite albums. It features one of the best songs I feel like I ever recorded—"Peggy Gordon".  And yet no one talks about the album.  There are many reasons why this may be. But one may be it just hasn't found its audience.  They say anonymity is the greatest obstacle for musicians....

If something is broken, fix it. That's what my dad told me when I was a kid. The simple fact is things break all the time. We don't fix always fix them. We get stuck in a rut.  But it's the way things have always been. The way things are. It's a tradition. So we choose not to change. 2018 was a good year for me. I rebelled. I broke down traditional music business barriers. Now I'm forging a new pa...

I'm picky about Christmas music. I prefer upbeat, fun Christmas songs. Good sing alongs. It's a challenge to find those with the Irish and Celtic Christmas music albums.

We're gonna honor those who died while serving in the armed forces for Memorial Day.
