I posted a new episode of Celtfather Music & Travel this week where I share the Secret History of the Celts. If you want to find out about some our origins before the seven Celtic nations, subscribe and listen at http://celtfather.com. I finally recorded an interview with Shannon Heaton, host of the Irish Music Stories podcast. I hope to release that interview in December.

I'm performing this weekend at the Indiana Renaissance Faire in Noblesville, IN with my band Kilted Kings. We have four shows daily. Find details on our website at http://kiltedkings.com

My new Celtic Halloween single is now on sale on iTunes, Amazon, CD Baby and everywhere else online.

Did you see the live video I shared last week of Dom Duff performing for my group in Carnac, France this summer? 

Did you see the new Tullamore Dew video advertising their blended Irish whiskey? If you haven't, it's a beautiful tribute to Irish Americans and all of America.
