Influences
I love Irish Rebel Music. The Wolfetones and The Irish Brigade are my favorites. I also love Eire Og, "Irish" Billy Briggs, & Shabeen. I listen to a wide variety of music. I also love Frank Zappa, Steely Dan, Arturo Sandoval, Miles, Trane & Bird.
I began my musical profession as a central New York based solo performer playing Irish Republican Rebel songs.
I've performed in Ireland, and throughout the northeast U.S. I've shared billing with acts such as Solas, Black 47, The Prodigals, and Tommy Makim, and Eileen Ivers. I've also played as an opening act for international recording artists Hadrian's Wall.
In early 2006 I joined my old friends Cliudan in playing percussion on their cd "Smoke & Strong Whiskey" and also the most recent "Anymore." I am now a permanent fixture with Cliudan and will be touring extensively forever more.
Heya Johnny! How are you, you sexy beast!:) Miss chatting with you guys...hope that all is well in your world. So when are you getting on Facebook? When you do, look me up...I'm on there a lot more often than the myspace page nowadays posting kid pics and stuff. Sounds like you guys are busy busy boyz...glad to hear it! Hoping to get out to one of your shows here around the holidays...just have to browbeat my brothers into babysitting :) Life here is pretty good....finances are tight, but who can claim they are floating along well nowadays? Love the Sox pics, although it's too bad that our boys aren't going for the pennant this year. Drop me a line somehow....Love you to bits
I'll have you know I LOVE the Ren Faire. And what do you mean believe in unicorns? You say that as if they're not real. C'mon, how else would the Easter bunny get around?
Hey John... Jamie and I made it to Fenway for the 4th of July which was amazing to say the least. We may try to make the Mid Winter Fest as well...and as for the smoking, Jamie does work for ACS so he could give you support numbers and other info to help you if you need it. Just drop him a line on here. We miss seeing you guys play...xoxo Jess (and Jamie too)
