I'm really excited to be playing again with my friend (and legendary Irish musician) Paddy Keenan. He is arguably the finest uilleann piper touring today and it's totally joyful to play music with him. We had a uproariously good time touring Ireland in June along with Tommy O'Sullivan.
This time it will be Paddy (http://www.paddykeenan.com), a fellow named Patsy O'Brien (www.patsyobrien.com) and me [or "and I" for any English majors out there] (www.petegrant.com). We'll all have CDs for sale at the shows. Support your local and international musician. There are two Bay Area shows and two in the foothills of the Sierras. I'll be playing my 8-string National Reso-Phonic Model D, and may even play some PSG given the chance.

I went to the show on the 18th.
This is a rare-gotta-see show folks.
Don't miss it.
Some of the most heart-felt music I've ever heard, played by masters.

Bummer, I'm playing both nights and won't be able to make the show, and it's a 10-15 minute walk from my house.
Have a good show. DZ |
