The Sober Irishman
The Sober Irishman is a one-man band. Unless otherwise noted, all instruments are played by me. All songs are also recorded, mixed, and mastered by me.
Tell me about your history? How did you get where you are now?
Yeah.
Have you performed live in front of an audience? Any special memories?
Bars and Songfight Live events are pretty much all I can pull off without a full band.

Anything else?
