Kerr County Celtic Festival & Hill Country Highland Games - August 15th (Ingram, TX)

[Tobus]

I will start posting Kilt Nights at Grape Juice. Sometimes they are small events and other times they can be quite merry. All are welcome. If there are any musicians out there, we are looking to add some entertainment.

Sorry for the delayed response, as I have gone back and forth on whether to post this. But what the heck...

I do play the mandolin and guitar, though my primary focus is on bluegrass and old-time styles of music. Very fiddle-tune oriented, which sometimes crosses over with Celtic or "Irish traditional" music. So while I could (and do) play some Irish and Scottish traditional music, I wouldn't say I typically play it in the true authentic tradition that the genre demands. That said, I'd be willing to coordinate or collaborate with other musicians you might have in mind, if you wanted to get some informal music going at a kilt night. While I have done some limited "performance" gigs, I actually find it more enjoyable (and the music more genuine) when it's more of an organic "jam" or "session" type setting. Basically, just get musicians together and let them find what they have in common, letting the music happen all on its own. It's great fun, especially as background entertainment in venues like this.

So if you have some other musicians willing to get together like this, I'd be game. There's a group I usually jam with once a week in Kerrville, though we typically do the aforementioned bluegrass, old-time, gospel type stuff. I might could convince a couple of them to come over and jam at a kilt night (they wouldn't wear kilts, methinks), provided we weren't limited to strictly Celtic-sounding music.
