A song that calls us to listen to the wisdom of past times, that contemplates what we’ve lost and how progress means more and more intensive farming.

This collaboration was challenging but we had fun and we hope it resonates with folks in both the US and in Ireland. Written by Curt Tramel and Enda Reilly

It’d be great if you listen on Spotify and add to your playlists.

.Housed in a 1940’s gas station, it’s easy to “fill up on memories” here at Station 66. Enjoy a bite from our homemade food menu featuring all-American classics and enjoy an old-fashioned, glass-bottled soda out of our vintage, 1940’s Coke machine. Have fun checking out the store’s original gas station artifacts and be sure to enjoy our huge side yard with picnic tables, cornhole games, our giant ice cream cone, and plenty of room to roam and explore!#nature#newsong#harvest#newirishmusic#newfolk#newmusic

I performed this at last weeks Live Stream and thought why not put it on Spotify for you all to listen to. I’ve been focused a lot on the Live Streaming and the videos so I’ll be refocusing on the audio in future. This old chestnut as someone called it earlier is a great song by Percy French and deserves more singing!

This weekend I travel to Pittsburgh for the 3oth Pittsburgh Irish Festival.

I’ll be performing on
Saturday at 1.30pm Pub Stage
and 5.30pm Celtic Stage and
Sunday 2.30pm Pub Stage

Also I’ll be performing my compositions of WB Yeats poetry in the Hedge school Stage.

Milwaukee here we come! Delighted and a little nervous to be going to Milwaukee Irish Fest for a set on Sunday at 12.45pm. Sorry to hear that the Irish contingent can’t be there this year due to covid restrictions. Looking forward to taking in the craic beforehand. And maybe hearing The Byrne Brothers singing a new song I wrote for them in Irish. Croí in Éirinn.

So a few years back three Danish students came to Dublin and found me and my music. They were inquisitive enough to make this mini-documentary. And they were a lot friendlier than I thought Vikings were!

If you wanna hear a more recent radio interview check out the one I did with Irish Music Cafe host Pat Johnson here The song at the beginning is an original called Each Other’s Shadows and the song at the end is A Wounded Bird
or on Spotify
