St. Patrick's Day at Finbar's

Dusty and I played for the keen early morning crowd at Finbar's Irish pub in Bedford yesterday.

Dusty Keleher at HUFF

My second night at Halifax Urban Folk Festival was with Dusty Keleher at the Wooden Monkey. We opened for Kris and Dee, a fantastic duo from Kingston, Ontario. Dusty and I played some songs from his new record, which will be officially released soon!

Last weekend, Dusty made a video of his song East to Ireland. Colin Carrigan and I joined him in the nook at the Henry House for the shoot. Here it is, made by Analog Songs, in time for St. Patrick's Day:
