Really proud of our local pub, Patrick's Irish Pub for winning the Best Local Bar award in the Greeley Tribune's 2011 Hot Picks. More specifically, proud of my friend Greg Farnsworth who had a vision to make a great place for folks to get together, enjoy great beer with great friends and not to mention, great music! The results are in Greg! Thanks for taking the risk.

Natalie Padilla, Peter Romero & I will be going into the studio next month to record our debut trad album "Fiddle & Flute". We've raised enough to get the tracking but need your help to bring it in for a landing! We're calling on friends, family, peers, supporters, enemies, extinct animal species, etc... to help via KickStarter.com Check the video / link below for more info...

Doing a bit of digging on the origin of the tune "The Messenger" I found this nice clip of Randal Bays & Dave Marshall. The Messenger is the second tune in the set was composed by Joel Bernstein.

Doing a bit of research on a tune this morning I found this video posted by "clarebannerman" on YouTube. Fantastic that this sort of footage is so easily accessible these days. Notables in the video include Junior Crehan, Michael Falsey, Jimmy Ward & Seamus Connolly.
