   About Ellis Island
Ellis Island started on St. Patricks Day in 1996, after a couple Casino executives from Harrahs heard Mick Doyle singing with another Irish act at the Dubliner Pub In Omaha. They offered a spot at their Grand Opening on St Patricks Day to Mick and his band. The only problem was Mick did not have a band, but he did have a lot of willing and able friends who were willing to give it a go and so a band was born.

Lead by an Irishman with another one on bass, a Scot, an Italian and a German in the line up, Ellis Island was a natural name for the band. After a couple line up shuffles over the years, Mick and Dave Marsh decided that it would be just the two of them that carried on with an occasional guest musician now and then.

Ellis Island performs 2 3 times a month at bars and pubs in the Omaha and Kansas City area. They have developed a strong following of loyal and enthusiastic fans, some of which bring their own props and instruments to sing along and be a part of the show.

Mick and Dave have played at several festivals including the Omaha Irish Festival, Weston Irish Festival, Sioux Falls Irish Festival and the prestigious Kansas City Irish Festival.

Ellis Island has released three (3) cds Crossing the Pond Live from McGuires and The Whole Shebang.

Hey Dave, et al! Thanks for the add! Dave, you did such amazing work on our CD - AND one of the ones you played accordion and penny whistle on (Wynken, Blynken and Nod) has been submitted to the Grammys for Best Arrangement and Composition! The CD is on the ballot for Best Children's Album, so tell your friends you're part of an album that's up for Grammys! Thanks for helping us make it Grammy-worthy!

Hiya Mick and Dave! Long time no see! Martha and I probably won't be headed north from Arkansas this season. Maybe Weston Festival and maybe see you there. We shall see.
Any news on a new CD from y'all?
