• Missouri River Irish Fest Runneth Over Again

  Irish Music, Saint Louis, Shows 20.09.2010 No Comments

  Missouri River Irish Fest delivered huge fun, Saturday. Thanks to the festival for having me back. Special thanks to all of you who came it in support, and to you who stumbled by and stayed. With three string breaks and the semi-nautical a capella songs that ensued, it became the Jonathan Ramsey Improv and Music Hour. Great crack!

  Sunday proved a bit too rainy, and shows all were canceled. Ah well.

  Let me know what you thought, and feel free to send pics of the fest or links.

• Saturday Saint Charles Show a Benefit for John Halverson Bone Marrow Fund

  Better World, Friends, Irish Music, Saint Louis, Shows 03.06.2009 No Comments

  

  Yesterday, I learned about the John Halverson Bone Marrow Fund. After contacting the Fund, we agreed to have a bucket for donations, as well as donating 50% of all CD sale proceeds to the Fund, at Saint Charles Coffeehouse, this Saturday’s show.

  Halverson is a father of three, living with leukemia. Recently, he’s found a match for a bone marrow transplant. Unfortunately, such procedures are costly, and he doesn’t have health coverage to pay for it. Friends of John founded The John Halverson Bone Marrow Fund to raise funds for the transplant. They will run yard sales, bake sales, and other fundraisers to help the cause.

  So, come on up to the free show, and drop what you can in the bucket. Enjoy an evening of Irish music with your friends and community as we rally behind a neighbor.

  This weekend, I’ll perform a special show, a late addition, at Saint Charles Coffeehouse. Open to all ages and with no cover, Saint Charles Coffeehouse is a great location for a first date or for a family evening out. They have great coffee, dinner, and baked goods. Of course, this Saturday, they’ll have some Irish and original music to enjoy with it.

• If You Love Me, Check Out… Tullamore

  Friends, If You Love My Music..., Irish Music, Kansas City 10.12.2008 1 Comment

  

  If you like what I do, check out Tullamore. If you remember my days in Bully Ruse, you’ll remember Mary Hanover, now singing and playing whistles, percussion, and hammered dulcimer (arguably/classically yet more percussion) with Tullamore. In fact, Mary, Mark (Clavey), and I share even more history. If you go further back into the dark ages of the early 1990s, you’ll find dusty flyers, recordings, and memorabilia from when Mark and Mary, and later Mary and I, were in Maid in the Myddle. Yes, it’s a twisted family tree, much like the one of Fairport Convention from a few years ago. Add Rachel Gaither, though and you have the whole mix. If you’re thinking, “Gaither, huh?”, well, wait. Watch her interact with Mark, and you’ll know that she can do a endure far more than any other musical Gaither in the world of musical Gaithers.

  Tullamore takes off from where our old groups excelled –in my humble opinion- beautiful, but dark harmonies. It’s a bit like Irish music meets acoustic Led Zeppelin, the Beatles, and chambre music on speed. With all the movement of guitar, whistle, hammered dulcimer, and fiddle, it’s a frenzied fun.

  So, make sure to head over to Tullamore and Tullamore on Myspace, and see for yourself!

  Cheers!

• If You Like My Music, Check Out Kelly

  Friends, If You Love My Music..., Irish Music, Kansas City, Other Musicians You Should Check Out 12.09.2008 No Comments

  
  

  If you like my music, you should definitely check out my friends the Kelly Band. Lead by Kelly Dougherty, they drive a very soulful, thoughtful sound. Kelly’s vocals produce a clean, classic sound, when they perform lyric airs, but I’ve heard her rip up the strong upbeat songs as well. I’m also been pleased to see her teamed up with my friends Mike Dugger and Gordon Bearss.

  Kelly has a new CD, and will celebrate with a CD release party, Saturday, Sep 13 2008, at Kansas City Irish Museum & Cultural Center, in Kansas City, Missouri. That’s in Union Station, at Pershing and Grand. They’ll perform at 8:00 PM.

  Check out more of Kelly at…

• New Show Update! Friday 3/28 Castletown Geoghegan to Rock!

  Irish Music, Saint Louis, St Louis Irish Music 26.03.2008 No Comments

  Come out to beautiful Belleville, Illinois, for an evening of great food, drink, or whatever turns you on, plus a large helping of Irish Music, featuring myself. That’s this Friday, just west of the little circle where Main Street meets IL-159.

  I’ll try to record this one, since my voice didn’t take long to recover from Saint Patrick’s Day. Speaking of Saint Pat’s, I need to post my debriefing, notes, errata, and whatnot about the fabled day of green, and how it went down, last week. Sneak peek: it was awesome, if wet!

  Plus, this week, or on Friday itself, I’m determined to get my own damn photos of the Castletown Geoghegan, inside and out. Maybe I need to set up a nice gallery of venues. Perhaps said gallery requires an accompanying set of venue tribute songs.
