Well well well! What a wild week it’s been! We got back from a wicked time playing at the Restigouche Heritage Festival in Campbellton, New Brunswick all weekend, just in time to shoot a beach party with Regis Philbin & Kelly Ripa from LIVE! With Regis & Kelly! We had a spectacular time, playing tunes for Regis and Kelly and all of the guests, enjoying the beautiful sunset from the beach at Crowbush, and the highlight of the night: Regis Philbin holding my hand and singing to me! It was brilliant.

And I know you’re asking…. WHEN can we watch it? It airs Thursday, July 15th, so check your local listings to see what station and what time it’s on in your part of the world!

Thanks to the LIVE! With Regis & Kelly team for inviting us to play, and to all of the fans who wrote in to the show to recommend us! You guys rock!!

More updates to come… what a busy week! Thanks for visiting, and don’t forget to follow me on Twitter and become a fan on Facebook! Talk to you soon

Hey everyone! There’s a great article in this month’s issue of The Buzz about a show that I’m doing with Nils Ling in New Glasgow, PEI. Every Tuesday at 7:30pm, starting on July 13th, you can head over to the River Theatre at the PEI Preserve Company for “Fiddlin’ With The Truth.” We’re gonna have a blast! Lots of fiddling, stories and songs.

Wanna check out the article to learn more about the show?

What a whirlwind few months it’s been! I can’t believe July is almost upon us. Riddle is *thisclose* to being released, and I’ve been testing out the new tunes at all of the shows. Jon Matthews and I got home last week after a bunch of shows in Massachusetts, including an awesome time at the Worcester Irish Music Festival. I was glad to make it back for the tail-end of the second Festival of Small Halls, which was a huge success. The weekend wrapped up with my first night at the Old Triangle Irish Alehouse in Charlottetown for the summer. I’ll be there every Sunday night until September, and Gordon Belsher joined me this past Sunday for some tunes. Great crowd, and an impromptu set of tunes with the Oisin McAuley Trio! (Yes, that’s Oisin from Danu.)

Lots of shows coming up on PEI, check out the tour schedule for more info! The Brackley Beach Ceilidhs get underway on Monday, June 28th… Follow The Fiddler starts on Tuesday, July 13th… Nils Ling and I begin “Fiddlin’ With The Truth” at the PEI Preserve Company on July 13th as well, and as I mentioned, lots of tunes on Sunday nights at the Old Triangle Irish Alehouse in Charlottetown.

Thanks for dropping by, hope to see you sometime soon!
