St Patrick’s Day at Harlows

What’s new? For this last Saint Patrick’s Day, I got to play at Harlow’s Pub in Peterborough NH with Richard, Matt, and Perin of Trip To Nelson, except with me, they’re called The Kids on the Mountain. The band sounded superb. Molly Brown took this picture with her phone, and I creepily snatched it off Facebook. Why? Well, as usual, I brought my camera, I brought a video device, but then the setup began, and the soundcheck, and then dinner and then whoa! we’re playing. And this blog is awfully barren looking without images. So that’s the story. Thanks, Molly!

Private Party (map)

Sometimes I play private events. Even though they're not open to the general public, I post 'em here so you'll have some kind of idea what I'm up to. If you'd like to have me play at your event let me know!

Other Info
I'm playing traditional Irish music at an undisclosed location in Nashua NH with Richard Backes on fiddle and Scott Lemire on banjo. It's a private party and it's not my house, so I can' t invite you, but do let me know if you're planning an event and you'd be interested to have me (or us) come play :)

Playing Music at Del Rossi’s

Thought I’d share this picture from a couple months ago. Leslie Vogel invited me and Richard Backes to join her in playing for the Yankee Publishing Christmas party at Del Rossi’s Trattoria, in Dublin, New Hampshire. It was fun and we got to sample the lunch spread on our breaks.

I’m a longtime fan of Del Rossi’s. When I was first scoping out the Monadnock region before moving up in 2011, I looked on TheSession.org for local Celtic jams and discovered that Del Rossi’s hosted one on Wednesdays. I attended their jam just about every week during that first year. I’ve been really busy with my teaching recently, so it’s hard to make it out to Dublin for the full jam, but I occasionally can get there early enough to play the last few songs on Wednesday nights.

Thanks to Lou Eastman for taking this photo!
