• Going to Kansas City and Recording a Bunch of Songs: #1 “The Good Ship Calabar”

  Irish Music, mp3, Music, Podsafe, Recordings, Shows 26.07.2012 No Comments

  I’m heading to Kansas City Irish Fest 2012, Labor Day Weekend, and to count down, I’m recording a bunch of songs, roughly one per week, and releasing them on the Internet. Each will initially be available as a free download, and they will all end up on an EP/Album available at, and after, KC Irish Fest.

  From Kansas City Irish Fest, 1 September, and until Halfway to Saint Patrick’s Day, 17 September 2012, the the album will cost a mere $5. That’s correct, $5. So, keep watching for more.

  If you have suggestions for songs you’d like included, please let me know. Email me, comment here. Comment on my facebook page. Tweet me. If I can, I’ll include it on the project.

  Thanks! And let me know what you want to hear.

  PS: I’m also making videos for each song, if only just me in the studio goofing off. I’ll edit the worst bit out, so don’t worry.

• Irish Music in Saint Louis at Hartford Coffee Saturday 30 April 8PM: Royal Wedding or Not

  Saint Louis, Shows, Where in the World is Jonathan Ramsey? 28.04.2011 No Comments

  

  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.

• 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.

• Saint Louis Music: Genre Wars at Felix’s Friday, 19 June

  Music, Other Musicians You Should Check Out, Saint Louis, Shows 17.06.2009 No Comments

  

  This Friday, join me as I host the opening of the Genre Wars 2009 Pre-Party at Felix’s in Dogtown. Don’t think “Battle of the Bands”, that well-worn elimination gimmick. In Genre Wars, bands of various genres –metal, blues, folk, Irish, Tuvan throat song, what have you- perform songs from outside their respective genres. The audience gets to vote for their favorites. It’s great fun, of course.

  Felix’s is a great place, in one of Saint Louis’ most exciting neighborhoods. When I played there in May, I had a great time, and met a lot of nice people. While it hosts many rock bands, it’s also a very intimate setting, allowing a lot of great interaction between the artists and the audience. You’ll feel like you’re in your own private show. The staff is very friendly and helpful, and ready to take care of you, whether you need food or drink, or help getting a taxi.

  Along with Dave Jordan, I’ll host beginning at 9PM, playing a few short sets. In between, Josh Timbrook (post-modern experimental folk), Dyadic Effect (experimental, instrumental rock), and Stupid Dreamer (4-piece rock) will perform their own sets. It’s sure to be great fun!

  
  Genre Wars
  Friday, 19 June 2009 9PM – 1AM
  Felix’s
  6335 Clayton Ave
  St Louis, MO 63139
  (314) 645-6565
  Get directions
  

  Be sure to join in on the comments. I want to know what you think. Have you been to Genre Wars? Do you already have an idea which band you think will do best?
