THE BRAZEN HEADS' FALL 2008 IRELAND TOUR WAS A GREAT SUCCESS. WE MET SOME REALLY GREAT PEOPLE AND THEY TOTALLY LOVED OUR MUSIC. ALL OF OUR SHOWS WERE SRO. WE COULDN'T HAVE ASKED FOR A BETTER RESPONSE. CAN'T WAIT TO DO IT AGAIN!

I am sometimes asked what my favorite style or genre of music is. This is really impossible for me to answer because I listen to all kinds of music, have played in bands that vary greatly in style, play and teach classical music and keep trying to learn more and more to expand my musical horizons.
In the mp3 player:
Tracks 1, 2, 3 & 4 are from "Who's Yer Paddy" by my full-time band, Irish rockers The Brazen Heads. The Heads are an incredibly fun band, as well as being a bunch of talented musicians. The CD can be purchased at our shows, on CDBaby.com (click on the picture of the CD at the bottom of this page) or downloaded from CDBaby, iTunes and other sites.
Track 5 is from the Eddie Benitez CD "Lover's Never Say Goodbye" and was used on the Discovery Channel. This is from a session I did for Eddie last year.
Track 6 consists of short clips from various recording sessions I've done. This series of clips shows some of the variety of music I've been involved in with both acoustic and electric violins.
Tracks 7 & 8 are originals written by my good friend Walt Richardson, the first recorded live at the McDowell Mountain Music Festival with The Peaceful Warriors, the second done in the studio with guitarist Hannes Kvaran, who completes our trio that has been performing together for over 12 years..
Track 9 is a beautiful tune from a recording session I did for the Christian duo ReignDown.
One of these days I'll get around to recording some classical pieces that I'm working on to display a level of difficulty that may not be shown in the original compositions or popular music that I do.
Your feedback on the music is always welcome. Thanks for listening!
