DAYMARK: Is my new traditional Irish music trio consisting of me on fiddle, William Woodson on pipes & flute and Eric McDonald on guitar & vocals. There are many New England dates in the pipeline. For more information do see our website



​CARAVAN OF THIEVES: After CT violin virtuoso Ben Dean stepped down from his lead violin commitments and left large shoes to fill, I was quickly affirmed (along with Nicole Scorsone in NJ) as a performing member of this nationally-known gypsy-swing-folk band after my debut show at Collinsville Hot in July 2016. Caravan of Thieves toured Midwest in Michigan & Ohio in May 2017 as well as further South in North Carolina, Virginia & Tennessee in June 2017. Further Fall 2017 and 2018 dates to come.
Selected live engagements ... further 2018 Caravan of Thieves, Daymark and Irish Dance performance dates to come, including the 2018 Mid-Atlantic Oireachtas in Philadelphia, PA!
