I know. I know. It does seem that I have spent all day at the Atrium Stage even though my show is over for three hours. Check out my erstwhile band mate, Mary Hanover, in Tullamore. We share the same stage tomorrow, but they play before me.

Join me this Saturday for an evening of Irish music in the family-friendly Hartford Coffee Company. No cover and a great venue will make for some sweet goings on in the Tower Grove South neighborhood. One of my favorite places to play, it’s roomy, but intimate feeling. The little ones can play in the play area, and we can all stomp our feet.
I’m going to try and stream this show, on My Live Show UStream Channel. So, if you want to be heard cheering, come out! If you’re sick, you can catch the show as it’s happening.
Come enjoy and All-Acoustic evening mixing Avant-Garde, Rock, and Irish Music in the heart of Dogtown, at La Gra. Try the tapas, as Sinfinis [bare] renders –acoustically- M.E.’s darkly thoughtful lyrics, Jonathan Ramsey delivers his energetic Irish and original folk, and Hollywood, Florida’s own national artist Robbie Hazen brings his high-energy, acoustic rock and pop show to Saint Louis’ Dogtown neighbourhood. Please, come join us for a fantastic night of music.

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, 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.
