Music From Ireland

Amber and I went to Ireland in April for our 10th anniversary. Every day was hiking in the mountains or by the sea followed by music in a pub. For some reason, I am longing for Ireland today. Here are some of the folks that we heard while we were there.





Music From My Mother

One of my favorite things about my mother is her love for good music, and some of my best memories of my time at home include sharing that music with her. She would share some of her favorites with me, and every time I found a new band or song that I loved, I would share it with her. George Winston is one of the many musicians she introduced me to. The first 17 minutes of this video are amazing. Thanks Mom!

More Brandi

I have been obsessed with Brandi Carlile since we saw her in concert in July. Here is why:


Mixed Messages

Before we were married I put this song on a mix that I gave Amber (yeah, I'm that cool). Not exactly sure what message I was trying to send.

Brandi Carlile

Amber and I went to see Brandi Carlile and the Avett Brothers a couple weeks ago at a small outdoor amphitheater in Wisconsin. Brandi killed it. She was amazing. She outshone the Avett Brothers by a mile, which would be unthinkable except for the fact that the Avett Brothers recently sold out, and their sound suffered as a result.

In Memory of Alvin Lee

A phenomonal and oft-overlooked guitarist by the name of Alvin Lee died yesterday. Just thought I'd share some of his music. The first two songs are from one of my favorite albums of all time. The last is his signature blues sound.

More Charlie Parr

Amber and I went to see this guy last Saturday. The show was phenomenal. When the show was at a fever pitch, and the drunk crowd was getting a little too rowdy, he played this song to calm things down. It was beautiful.



For an encore he played a frolicking revival tune. When he finished the song, everyone thought the show was over, but he launched into the next song. The only difference was that at our show, 500 people stomped and clapped in unison to the beat. Goose bumps.
