The Story:
I toured the world with Riverdance as a singer for 6 years. After meeting my wife Carrie backstage in Milwaukee, we kept in touch long distance for three years. When we got married I settled in Milwaukee and have been a feature of the Irish Scene since 2001.
The Show:
I am available as a solo act or with my band "Paddygrass". In my solo show, I loop ethnic hand drums live, then build layers of five string banjo and vocal harmonies to create a new tribal texture. My band Paddygrass is a collective of incredible musicians that journey through Ireland's influence on Bluegrass and Gospel. This band is my dream come true - An Irish jam band combining multiple influences ready for any musical occasion. Paddygrass performs as a duo, a six piece or anywhere in between. Check out the Paddygrass page for more info.
The Music:
My music is kickass, celtic, bluegrass. My mission is to move people to sing, dance and forget all else. Each show is built around an ever shifting groove that sets the heart and soul pumping. My original songs are inspired by the love of my wife and children and my love for Ireland. I blend Irish sing alongs with bluegrass, gospel and acoustic covers from the 60's and 70's. The new CD, "The Gospel According to Paddygrass" is here! It's an irreverent romp through Southern Gospel with Irish Hobnail boots on. Check it out on my music page to hear it...
