Marc Michael ..................................................................................................................................
In 1989 Marc attended an Irish folk festival in Louisville, KY having recently taken an interest in his own heritage (his maternal great grandparents were Irish and his paternal grandparents were Irish and Welsh.) It was there that he first heard and fell in love with Irish music, ballads and rebel songs in particular.
From that day to this Irish music, history and culture have been one Marc's primary passion culminating in a 2005 trip to the emerald isle itself. It was a life-changing experience.
His work with The Molly Maguires for the past ten years has been a labor of love and a source of pride and joy that has never been greater than it is today with the current line up, music and fans...
Marc likes it very much when you offer him Bushmill's Irish Whiskey.

Michael Walters
....................................................................................................................................
Michael Walters has been playing music for twenty years. He is a mostly self taught musician and only picked up the mandolin a couple of years ago. It was seven years ago that he first developed an interest in all things Celtic and since then has devoted much time to studying the culture, language and music of the Celts. As a teenager and young adult, Michael performed music from several genres, but feels that Celtic music and bluegrass call to his heart. Michael is delighted to be playing in a band where he can combine his love of good music with his love of good beer and scotch. Sometimes known as "the human P.A." Michael is without a doubt one of the loudest humans on the planet.

Julie Kunesh
.....................................................................................................................................
Julie Kurtz-Kunesh, a southern Tennessee gal with a little rhythm, grew up in Chattanooga Tennessee. Julie is married with 3 kids and a cat. Julie's journey into the Celtic music scene began when she started hosting music parties at her house a few years ago. It all blossomed from there. She enjoyed her trip to Eire, especially the black pudding -Julie has a nice beat and is easy to dance to.

Sarah Witucki
.....................................................................................................................................
Sarah is originally from Lansing, Michigan and grew up with a very musical family. Both parents being band teachers, it was inevitable that she take up the violin. Her father always pushed her to fiddle because he loved Celtic Music but after high school she quit the violin to focus on vocal music education. She somehow ended up in Chattanooga and met the Molly Maguires. They inspired her to bring her violin down to Chattanooga and start brushin’ up on her fiddlin’ skills. Now she can’t put the darn thing down and lives for playing and singing with the band. It doesn’t hurt that she can hold her Guinness & Whiskey too. Her Father is so proud.

I know that many artists from North America don't have their music videos uploaded to German video websites. The most popular websites are MyVideo.de and ClipFish.de. That means your European audience does not have the chance to find them.
I understand that most of you don't speak German and are not able to upload videos because of the language barrier. If you would like me to upload your videos to the German video websites, please let me know.
