- This weekend we played three shows at Gavins in East Durham, NY. Was great to be back there for a whole weekend. It was "reunion weekend" up there, and we got to see a lot of old faces, good friends... and the kids of those good old friends. The weekend culminated with a great outdoor Sunday afternoon show... reminicent of those old Erin's Melody gigs 15 years ago... We will be back at Gavins this fall for their big Guiness Festival...
- My son Connor, played with us all weekend on acoustic guitar and fiddle. Was great to have him up with us... reminded me of when I started playing on stages in East Durham around his age. You will hear more from him as he is getting better everyday...
- New songs... are coming. We sorta debuted one at Gavins on Saturday night... one I wrote entitled 'Whirl Spin Girl'. We are working on lots of new material this summer to followup on last year's Shores of America... gotta get Kathleen to write a blogpost on a few of the other titles in process. Maybe fall in the studio??
- Twitter... got a good Celtic Cross song idea? Tweet it to us @celticcrosstunz.
- Good shows this month... we are headlining this Friday July 10th in New London, CT at Sailfest, the Rockland County Feis on Sunday July 19th (our favorite show of the year), and Hartford Irish Festival on Saturday July 25th.
- Got a new bass... I bought a new bass for myself. A Fender Jazz American Deluxe... black with a gold pickguard, maple unfinished neck... very cool active electronics. It is the four string I have been needing for a while... cuts through the thick Celtic Cross mix really well.
There is a quick catch up... hope you are all having a great summer. Comment on our blog here, visit us on Facebook, and check our website schedule for all our details.
