A Weekend of Concerts (Behind the Scenes!) (Celtic Singer)

 

The weekend of September 15, 2023 was a whirlwind to say the least!
On Friday (the 15th) I got to perform with The Wayward Companions at the Bradford House Museum's Whiskey Rebellion Fundraising Dinner, which took place at the Hilton Garden Inn in Southpointe, PA. It was quite an experience!
Then the following day, I performed the song "Amazing Grace" at the dedication and commemoration of the headstone for Daniel South Jr. (born in the mid18th century and transcended in 1811) at Old St. Luke's Church in Carnegie, PA. It was an honor to do so.
In this video, I take with me for the entire weekend and also answer Q&A questions sent to me via my Instagram and Facebook pages.
Both of these events were VIP events, so since I couldn't invite people from the public to come out, a behind the scenes video it was!
This was truly a fun and memorable weekend and I am so grateful to have been able to be part of these events. A big thank you to the Bradford House Museum, Old St. Luke's Church, and the Mayflower Society.

TIP JAR!  

A Monsoon Concert...Thunder, Lightening, and Music, OH MY! And some Pyrates too!

 
Well hey there!
I'm back after a long hiatus from posting here! It's been an eventful year as I'm prepping for some cool things to come. One adventure that I was recently on was my recent gig with Wayward Companions at the Compass Inn in Ligonier, PA. And quite an adventure it was!

So first came the packing as pictured below:
 


The fun part is always packing. Seriously, it is. The anticipation leading up to the travel is something I actually like. 

So normally I would head out on the Friday night before, but since we had an extra rehearsal to help break in a couple of new members, I headed out to Greensburg (where I was staying the weekend with relatives as I always do when I have a gig out that way) on Saturday morning.

I arrived at 10AM and got to have a nice brunch with family and overall, it was a very relaxing day leading up to when I had to start getting ready at around 3PM so I could be at the venue for a 5:30 soundcheck (the event was to start at 6:30PM).


Me shortly before I left my uncle's house and headed to the venue, The Compass Inn

 

Our setup along with some gorgeous shots of the Compass Inn
 
This was literally the calm before the storm! It is actually very peaceful and still out there and for a while, it seemed that the bad weather just might pass us by. Or so it seemed.


In the meantime though, the scenery was quite lovely and all seemed okay with the weather as Wayward Companions did our sound check and guests started to arrive.

The dance floor was all set up and some lovely ladies were dressed in their finest. Things got started with us (Wayward Companions) doing a couple songs followed by the beginnings of the dancing.





But then, things took a dive. Literally and figuratively speaking. We were in the middle of a break from the music and the dancing with everyone getting refreshments when the wind started to pick up and suddenly we were met with sheets of rain and winds that started blowing the tents over. 

Us musicians had to move fast and immediately rescue our instruments and sound equipment from the downpour. We were able to get everything under the largest tent/dance floor just in time. And everyone else was gathering underneath the tent over the dance floor.


After what seemed like a really long time, the rain let up enough for the festivities to continue, but us musicians were unable to carry on. You see, we use acoustic instruments and such weather can be very detrimental to wooden instruments, not to mention our sound system. So while we were unable to continue, the dancemaster was able to get some 18th century dance music on his phone and the festivities continued on that way.



It did still rain a little bit, but after that, the worst of it was over. The dancing was a lot of fun and we all did manage to make the most out of the evening.
I also got to look around inside of the Compass Inn's gorgeous barn. Although in some ways it reminds me of a Pyrate ship (speaking of Pyrates, More on that further down).


  

The evening was certainly an unforgettable one and it was fun getting to do some 18th century dancing on a rainy evening. Still, it was definitely nice to get into some dry clothes!
 
But that was not the last of our 'Monsoon Tour' dates! Our next concert, which was a house concert with a pirate theme. The lovely Hawley family had us out for a concert in their lovely home. But what was supposed to be an outdoor concert on their deck (made up to look like a ship!) turned into a concert in the 'lower quarters of the ship' (their spacious garage, which was also made up to look incredible and like the interior of a ship) due to some more monsoon like weather. But the concert was actually quite nice and kind of cozy in their quarters/garage and the storm actually made for some cool atmosphere (and we got to play with the concept of having a party on the stormy seas).
 
It was yet another incredible evening and overall fun was had by all. After the concert, everyone gathered for a music circle, which was also a nice way to close out the evening.






Me all nice and dry after the show!
 


The original stage had it not stormed!
 



Another nice, dry photo of me post show!
 
 
 
Both of these events were memorable in their own way. Certainly unforgettable!

LIVING ROOM SESSIONS LIVESTREAM: Crazy Man Michael (Celtic Folk Music)

 

On Sunday evening, August 27, I held my first Facebook Livestream based off of my long running Living Room Sessions. This year, I decided to change up the format a little from the normal pre-recorded sessions that I've been doing for the past few years. I am now making you part of the living room sessions, sort of like a virtual jam session. I invite to come in, comment, even request a song that you would like me to do for a future stream! I plan to do this monthly at first, but I'll likely add more sessions as I go. Sometimes I'll be flying solo and other times I might have a guest musician! I look forward to this new Living Room Sessions format and I look forward to having you along!

Slainte!
