Well Spring is here and the Summer is just around the corner, it has been one of those winters that won’t go away. The ice is still thick on the bay but I can hear the cracks and the moaning of the ice as it gives way to the waters of summer.
We are very excited about the coming year and for the first time in my career I will be performing at a FOLK FESTIVAL. Yes, a folk festival, and at the best one you can think of – the Mariposa Folk Festival, July 8th and 9th. Our spot is on the 9th, late evening, main stage and my musical director Jason Fowler, along with Brian MacMillan and Ray Legere, will be doing workshops on July 9th and 10th. I will also be doing workshops with my players on the 9th during the day and will post details on the site as they become available.
The Fall tour is just about confirmed with a few open dates yet to be confirmed and it is as always a very busy schedule. We will once again have some special guests and I think this is the best year yet for guests. I will post the names as we confirm dates and I know you will all be thrilled with the line up.
We are working a couple of new CDs – one is a Christmas CD and the other a tribute to the great Irish poet Thomas Moore. Both discs will be released in time for the Fall tour.
So as we head into Summer we will keep you apprised of the Fall tour and events relating to McDermott House Canada.
Enjoy the Spring, Happy Easter, and may you have a safe and sun-filled Summer.
John, Jason, Brian, George, Gary, Ray and Mick.
