A day in the life of a working musician.. the behind-the- scenes drama of presenting Irish fiddle shows, running a band, dealing with the endless characters in the music industry, and keeping the dream alive.

Fiddlers on the Loose: multi-genre show in NYC

What do Irish fiddle, funk and jazz have in common?
They will all be a part of our multi-genre fiddle show in NYC August 24th!
I met fiddler Darrell Looney at 2MNC (a great music conference! ) in Nashville. We were surprised to find that we both lived in NYC and both fronted bands that featured the fiddle.
So we had to do a concert together, there was no getting out of it.
We joined forces with world-jazz fiddler Elektra Kurtis and there you have it....our first multi-genre fiddle show. Wed, august 24th at the Under_score, 1733 First Avenue in New York City 7 p, $5
We had a lot of fun rehearsing our grand finale, and the funky band, Da Phatfunk Clique, let me try some Irish tunes with their rhythm section. Only in NY!
