Instrumental Music: 

I provide instrumental music for weddings, banquets, formal ceremonies of all occasions, restaurants, pubs, and more. I provide the main music of a ceremony or the background music for a dinner in which my music fills in the gaps when there are lulls in the conversations. 

Educational Musical Programs and Workshops:
As an ethnomusicologist and performer I offer programs that can be
tailored to virtually any educational setting, from elementary school to high
school to college students, and to adult and senior non-credit
programming. Each program is a self-contained module that generally
runs about 45 to 50 minutes each. However, they can be expanded or
trimmed to fit the needs of the client and the audiences.

Musical Journeys:
Take a musical journey from the ancient Celtic lands to traditional
Appalachia right up to the modern sounds of country music. Learn how
Garth Brooks, or at his genre of music, cuts its teeth around the misty
glens of Scotland and Ireland and how the cultural baggage of the
Ulster-Scots was brought to the Appalachian area of America. This
journey is accomplished through lecture and performance with the Celtic
harp, tinwhistle, banjo, dulcimer, Autoharp, and vocals.

Ballads:
Learn about the origins of ballads, the different types of ballads, and their
characteristics. Through lecture and performance the students will hear
examples of Irish, Scottish, Welsh, Irish and Appalachian ballads and
here stories within these ballads that rival complexity of any soap opera
and the action of any Russell Crowe and Julia Roberts movie. It is
storytelling in its truest bardic form that will entertain as well education
those who listen.

Instruments:
Learn the history of several folk instruments that have been instrumental
in the development of Western folk music from the British Isles to
America. Here examples from the Celtic harp, Appalachian dulcimer
tinwhistle, banjo, guitar, Autoharp, fiddle, Irish flute, and whatever else I
pick up along the way. Besides the instruments themselves, several
styles of the instruments will be discussed and demonstrated such as
fingerstyle and flatpicking guitar, clawhammer and Scruggs style banjo,
and more.
