Ireland 2025: A Journey to Remember

There’s something magical about Ireland—the rich history, breathtaking landscapes, and, of course, the lively music that seems to pour out of every pub, street corner, and celebration. This year, I had the incredible privilege of embarking on my first mini-tour through this captivating country, and I’m thrilled to share the experience with you.

The adventure kicked off in Dublin, where I played two unforgettable shows at The Cat and Cage and Taphouse. The energy in the room was palpable, and the audience’s enthusiasm reminded me why I love what I do.

From there, it was on to one of the most meaningful gigs of my life—a wedding celebration for my dear friends Brandon and Giselle, joined by their sweet baby Luca.

Celebrating their love with music was an honor I won’t soon forget.

Don't we clean up nice?

Next stop: The Harp Bar in Kildare Town. This cozy venue had such a warm and welcoming vibe, making it easy to connect with everyone there. We made our way to Galway, a city that truly embodies the soul of Ireland. It was a dream to perform at the iconic Quays Bar Galway, a place steeped in history and vibrant with life. Music has a way of bringing people together, and Galway was no exception—I left with new connections and a full heart.

We stepped away from the music for a bit to soak in the awe-inspiring beauty of the Cliffs of Moher. Standing on the edge of those cliffs, with the wind whipping around us and the endless Atlantic stretching out before us, was a moment of pure gratitude.

As our time in Ireland came to a close, we spent the final day preparing equipment for storage and saying heartfelt goodbyes to friends. But here’s the thing: this isn’t goodbye, not really.

Ireland has left its mark on me, and I’m already planning my next trip back. In fact, I’d love for you to be part of it. We’re working on organizing future music trips that combine travel, culture, and live music. If that sounds like something you’d like to be part of, reach out to me or my lovely wife, and we’ll keep you in the loop.

To everyone who came out to the shows, who danced, sang along, and shared a pint—thank you. Ireland 2025 has been a dream, and I can’t wait to see what’s next.

Sláinte!
