This one is dedicated to my music, art, and personal podcast projects li...

I hosted a live edition of the Pub Songs Podcast at Dragon Con a few weeks back. I lost track of how many years I have closed the con with this live podcast. It’s been a blast. In this episode, I play another Sci Fi Drinking Songs show with a lot of fan input. I also announce some exciting news about the Return of the Pub Songs Podcast. Special note: There were some microphone issues. I apologize...

As a cultural geographer and a musician seeking to build a fan base, I am fascinated by the idea of building communities. Last week, I played a show which offered some great insight that I will share, along with some great music and a couple of song requests. News How America Saved Irish Music and the fundraiser for the CD 1st Official CD Release at The Irish House in New Orleans on Saturday, Janu...

The American impact on Irish music and my new CD is the theme of the first episode of the Pub Songs Podcast in 2014. I'm holding a fundraiser to help pay for the album before it is released. In this show I sing three songs found on the album with my Americanized twist on Irish songs on the autoharp. It's beautiful fusion of music. I hope you enjoy the show. Watch the show on YouTube! Oh! Don't for...

For the final Pub Songs Podcast of the year, I wanted to bring you some more Christmas music. This is not as much Celtic Christmas music as just some good Christmas standards. Well, except for the new Hobbit Christmas song. Is that the first ever? Boh!? Anyway, I want to wish you all a very happy and joyous Christmas. Find out more about the Pub Songs Podcast at pubsong.net where you can subscribe...

I love Celtic Christmas music about as much as I love classic Christmas music. The holidays are upon us. I'm in the Christmas spirit. I also need to start practicing for this year's Christmas show here in Birmingham  when I perform at The Summit Christmas Market in about a week and a half. I have a lot of songs I need to work on, including some new Celtic Christmas songs. Oh! Then there's that hob...

Welcome to another edition of the Pub Songs Podcast. This week, I am PACKED full of news. I've had a busy month, thus the delay in posting a show. But I'm back with more Celtic geeky goodness. First and foremost is the exciting news that the Irish & Celtic Music Podcast was nominated in the 2013 Podcast Awards for Best Podsafe Music. We need your help to win our THIRD award. To help out, just go t...

I'm very pleased to bring you an extra interesting show today. I have some big news for the week, but to some degree it feels like repetition of news I've already shared. Yes, it is a progress report, and I made a lot of progress, but I need something different. So this week, I decided to step back a couple hundred years to live like a bard of old and share with you the news of the week, like bard...

It was another busy week. I'm still at work on two CDs: Scottish Songs of Drinking & Rebellion and  A Celtic Christmas . Both are nearing completion. I have one more song to finish mixing for the Scottish CD and I'm getting ready to send the Christmas album to the printers. It was fully funded on Kickstarter as of yesterday. This is a huge triumph for me. My compilation CDs are incredible tools fo...

In an effort to keep the Pub Songs Podcast on its weekly schedule, I decided to release a show today. This one has no corresponding video, sadly. I'm kinda swamped with mixing and mastering CDs. So I decided to do the quickest show possible to stay on schedule and still do everything else I need to get done. Stay subscribed for more Live shows in the future.   News CelticCon - Intergalactic Celtic...

Once again, DragonCon ended with a bang and a live Pub Songs Podcast by yours truly. The con was wild and crazy fun, as has always been typical with reunions of the Brobdingnagian Bards. That's what the weekend was all about for me. However, this was my only solo show and as always a great way to end the con.   Music: "Isn't It Grand, Boys (to be Walking Dead)" "Monahan's Mudder's Milk" "It's Good...

We are just two days away from the big Invasion of DragonCon 2013 . This year, I will be performing with the Brobdingnagian Bards for a weekend of Celtic Renaissance insanity. You never what's gonna happen. In preparation, I decided to record another Pub Songs Podcast live on Google Hangouts. I am thrilled to report that the sounds issues that haunted the last two podcasts are resolved. I used my...

Today's show is dedicated to The Clancy Brothers and Tommy Makem. If you love Celtic music and you're not familiar with the group, you're missing out. They are one of the reasons Gunns & Drums is recording an album called "How America Saved Irish Music". They're a shining example. Once again, the show is suffering from some technical difficulties. I hope you will bare with me as I work out all of...

This is my first attempt at recording a live Pub Songs Podcast on Google Hangouts. I'm gonna try and put a new show out every week or two with minimal editing. I'd love your feedback.

I love to travel. That is reason I started my Celtic Invasion Vacations. I wanted to find a way to see the world. There is no better way to do it than with good food, good drink and great company. That's what my invasions are all about. Today's show talks a wee bit about my Celtic Invasion of the Highlands of Scotland. I reveal next year's invasion. I update you on my upcoming CDs. You even get a...

I keep planning on doing a YouTube video on my three pieces of advice for new parents, but I'm still not totally comfortable with quickly and easily recording videos. There's something that always keeps me from it. It's my own lack of confidence. But with eight years of recording audio podcasts, I figured I'll just go ahead and do an audio podcast and I'll record the video later. My Kickstarter ca...
