Band MembersPhoto Sharing and Video Hosting at Photobucket Micheal Price is a Fort Worth native, a founding member of the Fort Worth- based Blarney Brothers and perennial Master of Ceremonies favorite. He attended Texas Wesleyan College and has been writing and performing music since 1971. While in the U.S. Army, he spent two years in Germany performing with German classical guitarist Manfred Blank at coffee houses and clubs throughout South Germany. Back in the States he hooked up with pal David Sparks for an acoustic duo. Micheal draws on his years of experience as a standup comic and his comedy improv work for stage presence and his unique humor! Micheal also has a love of loud, outrageous shirts. Some of his craziest come from fans!-------- Photo Sharing and Video Hosting at Photobucket Randy Christian began playing the harmonica around 1989 with family, which mushroomed into the now-retired Blarney Brothers. Before long, he expanded his repertoire to include the congas, the penny whistle and most recently he's been seen with a washboard and accordion. He also harbored a completely unsuspected flair for singing and vocal arrangement that the Whalers have put to good use. A man of many voices and sound effects, he tends to favor the rowdy, upbeat Celtic songs and belts them out with gusto---------- Photo Sharing and Video Hosting at Photobucket Kathleen Jackson began singing with her family as a small child in West Texas, soon learning to play guitar, upright bass and mandolin. Graduation found her playing bluegrass and western swing in Dallas with her brother, Greg, and other family members in the band Buffalo Grass. Later Kathleen began singing with The City Lights Singers, a folk-roots group. Other groups she has been a member of are The Bluebonnet Plague (bluegrass), Full Tilt Boogie (Americana), Sibling Revelry (Texana and political satire) and The Bruce Williams Trio (folk and pop). All her life Kathleen has generously given of herself, donating her time to groups such as The Women's Acoustic Music Showcase in their charity fundraising efforts-------- Photo Sharing and Video Hosting at Photobucket Marj Troyer's intricate guitar playing, versatile song writing and recent emergence as a power-house mandolin player is an awesome combination, kicking the Whalers' sound up more than just a notch. Whether a ballad or a toe-tapper, her vocals are an absolute treat and she adds the perfect 4th to the Whaler harmony. She started out as a Mennonite preacher's kid in Illinois, some how talked her dad into letting her buy a guitar when she was 13 and came to the Dallas/Fort Worth area in 1984. From time to time, you can also catch her onstage with the Zen Bubba Band or the Bruce Williams Trio .

   About Trinity River Whalers
Celtic-Americana runs full kilt into bluegrass as the Texas-based, Trinity River Whalers chart their way among a treasure trove of traditional and contemporary songs, adding a few of their own twists and turns. From horse-races and the lottery to whaling and sailing to love and lust, the Whalers’ catch is varied fare, served up with harmony and wit. The ‘equal opportunity’ Whaler crew is comprised of Randy Christian (harmonica, accordion and percussion), Kathleen Jackson (upright bass, 'Fred') and song-writers Micheal Price (rhythm guitar) and Marj Troyer (lead guitar and mandolin), with all four blending their voices in full harmony or taking turns telling the tale. It’s a show full of humor, warmth and tunes to take your breath away

David Franks: Walkabouts Verse





May 22 2009 7:45 PM

(Hi: enjoyed my visit.) 

After you've finished here, you may like to hear this poem sung on myspace... 

Poem 2 of 230, WalkaboutsVerse
(please see my blog): 
WALKABOUT WITH MY PEN 

Once drove an old sedan, up north, 
From a place in Sydney to Cairns; 
Then to Kuranda I went forth, 
By train, to look without set plans.

I browsed through the trendy market, 
With fresh fruits of tropical kind; 
Walked to the creek through lush thicket - 
Nature’s hand giving peace of mind.

I dined in a scenic cafe; 
Then, outside, as I wrote for yen, 
Some passing Kooris called-out: “Hey, 
You go walkabout with your pen.” 

Request or question, I don’t know -
Assured voices, elderly men.
That’s now several years ago, 
And I’ve seen the world - with my pen.

(C) David Franks 2003

Whaler Fans,
The release of the new Trinity River Whaler CD Party In A Box is imminent. Showtime is 8pm Saturday night May 16. We're really excited about the new project which features two brand new songs, and one is an original, "Buccaneer."

The party will have a bittersweet quality, though. It will also be the last night the Tipperary Inn will remain open. For many of us this is devastating news, but we can't allow a favorite Dallas venue to go out quietly. Being the very last night, they won't be restocking alcohol, so when something runs out, we'll just have to try something else. Our mission, "should you choose to except it" is to drink them dry!!!!

So please come out and join us in a grand Celtic send-off for Tim, Ellen, Beth and Meghan Russi and the Tipperary Inn itself, site of many fond memories for us all.

Elaine & The Whalers

P.S. Bring your cameras so we can document the occasion, and I'll use any shots you send me on our website.
