Irish Coffee

The first time I had Irish coffee was the night before my sister got married. The town closest to the wedding had a downtown about 3 blocks long, and the groom and his guys were at the other bar, so we (the girls!) ended up at this Irish place. They had a woman there playing the djembe like you've never heard it before, and wailing away the whole time. She seemed to be enjoying herself, and although musically speaking it was scary, you had to admire her for being in the moment. The three of us ordered Irish coffee...
I don't know if we knew then what was in an Irish coffee, but I do know that they were so strong that we had to ask the waitress to frequently come back and add more cream.

Fast forward 10 years later and that's the name of my upcoming album. It's Irish fiddle "with a global twist" and it's at the manufacturing plant as we speak.

I think the music captures my influences (Irish fiddle, African drums, American Folk) in a way that I couldn't have predicted. and when it's done....we'll definitely be going out for Irish Cofee.
