Big E. and Hurricane Iggy
Influences
Jimmy Buffett, Bob Marley, Jackson Brown, Kingston Trio, Sonny Landreth, Jerry Jeff Walker, Stan Rogers, to many to list...
Note - In the music player thus far are recordings E. has done with other bands and artists in the past. Please visit back often as his personal recordings as well as other songs from projects past will be posted as they come in.
Big E. (Rob McDorman) has been playing music sine the second time he saw the Monkees on his grandmothers television at the age of 9. Later he would help to bring his Jr.high School choir into second place in the Illinois State Choral Competition.
Some time later he eventually moved to Texas and after selling Dijderidus with Captain Jakes Big Blow he got involved with The Bilge Pumps via the Hawkwood Faire and The Scottish Caledonian Gamers.
Through out his time in Texas, E. found himself knee deep (as he's 7 feet tall) in the Celtic music scene performing and/or recording with some of the best local talent like Linda King, Brendanas Dream, Needfire and Rowan Moon as well as always showing up at the North Texas Irish Fest sessions.
The original inception of Hurricane Iggy was spawned in North Texas in 2002 when Big E. struck out to play a different sound of music that he loved so much, Tropical Rock.
Now with the help of a few close friends, Big E. and his backing band Hurricane Iggy as well as his original love of Celtic music which has now spawned The Humours of Whiskey and Clann an Ti ode sees the big man back on the road to music.
Keep and eye out as you may see Big E. pluckin' his bass, strummin' his guitar or banging a drum and always singin' songs from the heart with a good story or joke to go along!
Don't forget to join Big E.'s Fan Club!
Keep up with all the latest and greatest of everything Big E's up too.

"Whatever else be lost among the years, Let us keep Christmas still a shining thing: Whatever doubts assail us, or what fears, Let us hold close one day, remembering Its poignant meaning for the hearts of men. Let us get back our childlike faith again." -- Grace Noll Crowell
Love & Blessings to you and yours this Christmas!!
For each new morning with its light, For rest and shelter of the night, For health and food, for love and friends, For everything Thy goodness sends. ~Ralph Waldo Emerson
At times our own light goes out and is rekindled by a spark from another person. Each of us has cause to think with deep gratitude of those who have lighted the flame within us. ~ Albert Schweitzer
"In Flanders fields the poppies blow Between the crosses, row on row, That mark our place; and in the sky The larks, still bravely singing, fly Scarce heard amid the guns below
We are the dead. Short days ago We lived, felt dawn, saw sunset glow, Loved, and were loved, and now we lie In Flanders fields." - Colonel John McRae, In Flanders Fields November 11th - Veteran's Day in America, Armistice Day, 1918, Remembered
With a grateful heart.. Thank you to all Veterans, from all branches of service, both foreign and domestic!!

"All of a sudden there were people screaming. I saw people jumping out of the building. Their arms were flailing. I stopped taking pictures and started crying." --Michael Walters, a free-lance photo journalist in Manhattan.
