CHARACTER FLEADH |
Greetings! Before I get to the obvious business at hand - Character Fleadh's St. Patrick's season gigs) - I wanted to take a minute to acknowledge a personal career milestone and how Irish music played into it. On March 16, I will celebrate twenty years of being my own boss as a creative person. The timing of my departure from my former office job (the day before St. Patrick's Day) was fateful. There was an Irish band at Wishbone, the Southern restaurant where my now-wife Lillie and I celebrated my “liberation." The seed of an idea was planted. I had already played Celtic music with various spin-offs of my rock band Tautologic. Why not make it official with a band that played Irish (and also Scottish) music exclusively? It took me another two years to launch Character Fleadh, but… after 17 St. Patrick’s seasons, several hundred gigs, two albums, two EPs, and hundreds of tunes and songs learnt, it's central to who I am as a musician. I'm grateful to all of my clients, bandmates, friends, family, and fellow travelers who've made it possible. Come out to one of my public St. Patrick's season gigs and help me celebrate 20 years as a full-time musician! |
