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.

Celtic fiddle at Caramoor

I went to Caramoor last weekend to check it out since we have a concert there June 29th. It's beautiful!
From the gardens to the architecture to the woods.Of course I had to pull my fiddle out and play a little.  Afterwards we checked out the town of Katonah, the part by the train station. It's very cute and even though it's only a few blocks there was a music store, so I thought that was  a good sign!

Check it out for yourself Caramoor.org 
They have concerts all summer long and there's a picnic area with lots of trees. Our show is part of the Dancing at Dusk series - a 5 pm show that includes activities for kids. We'll have an Irish dancer (Lauren McGarrity) too, so that will be fun. 


As someone who lives in a big city, it's really nice to have places to go and feel like you are in a completely different world. Caramoor is one of those places.
