Speaking of which, the band will be at Riverssance in McClellan Park from 4-5:30 p.m. Saturday, Sept. 19.

I'll be teaching an Irish String Music workshop at the Celtic Highland Games, but more on that later.

Also, the band returns to the Performance Hall at the River Music Experience in September for the next season of the Bucktown Revue, presented at 7 p.m. the third Friday of the month, September through April.

Until we see you all again, below are three excerpts from the band's second CD.

Best, Michael
