Band/artist history

We played our first show in March, 1996 at the Kincora Pub on Capitol Hill in Seattle. Our self-titled first CD was released in 2003. Hallmark licensed Morrisons Jig in 2008 for use in their Say It With Music line of greeting cards. We just released our second CD, "Green Energy".

Have you performed in front of an audience?

You can find us at the Irish pubs in Seattle on Saint Paddy's Day. We love to get the whole crowd dancing -- and the crowd loves it when our bass player dances along while he's playing. We are heartened when our fans ask us to play at their weddings and special events, or when people tell us our music will help them through the gnarly turns (must be snowboarders!)
