“Gilmartin and Potter(David Byrne, Pete Seeger) brought the house down with positive energy, lots of laughs and soothing insightful sounds. I caught them at a recent Sidewalk Café show as they sang their soulful, original songs to the downtown New York City audience." - Eric K. Williams, Award-winning journalist, WBAI-FM Radio

Thanks, Aaron! The feeling's mutual. I really enjoyed your music and sharing the stage with you. Thanks for adding to my songs with your fantastic guitar work. Best of luck to you on your upcoming writing journey! Hope to see you again sometime :)
Thanks, Aaron. I had a great time last night! Loved it! Glad you enjoyed my song. Let me know when you play there - would love to hear you. Best, Carla
Thanks for the offer, but I actually live in Orlando, FL. I write a ton. I have a bunch of videos of me doing a few original things and a bunch of covers at www.youtube.com/polishcomedy
Not everything I do/play is up there, but there is a fair amount of diversity. The Stu Hamm cover is atrocious, it was the first vid I ever posted, but it gets zillions of hits and lots of good comments, so I left it up.
Just curious cuz after watching your instructional vid I noticed the stuff you had online focused on other pursuits. I don't play flamenco well enough to play it live. There's a great flamenco bar downtown that I hope someday to play in. I play every style under the sun, and I play a few instruments (drums, guitar, bass, piano, trumpet), but flamenco is the final frontier for me. I am curious as to why you didn't cover any alzapua or golpe in your video, which are pretty crucial elements to the art.
Just stopping by to say hi and to let you all know that I just posted my new demo!!! Please come by and listen and let me know what you think - tell your friends if you like it :)
I KNOW you're gonna love it :)
I can't wait for everyone to hear it!!!
If you have the time to leave a comment that would be SUPER appreciated because we're going to record labels VERY soon and they'll be visiting the page :)
The Craic Festival 2009 has invited FairplayCollective to play at this years Festival. All members will be playing in the round. The show is at The Mercury Lounge, March 14th at 8pm. This is the last night of the festival and Foy Vance is also on the bill.
