My first real St. Paddy's Day music gig!
I’ve always had it in my mind that I would end up singing Irish songs at pubs on the weekend, coming full circle from the way that I grew up. I just … never did anything to pursue that goal. Until finally, the fine folks at Liquid State Brewing — one of my favorite places in Ithaca, New York — asked me to perform on St. Patrick’s Day.
Who knew that people would actually pay me to sing my favorite Irish Rebel Songs and Pogues tunes while I drink their beer? Being a grown-up is great!
It was a great show, and I’m very much looking forward to doing it again next year.
