Lumber Camp Songs in Arizona

Randy and I had a great week teaching at the Grand Canyon Celtic Arts Academy in Flagstaff, AZ (July 17-19) and performing the Irish Songs from the Lumber Camps show at the Arizona Highland Celtic Festival!

We also enjoyed our outdoor concert at the beautiful (and historically appropriate) Riordan Mansion in Flagstaff. The Riordan’s were Irish-American lumber company owners from Chicago who helped establish Flagstaff when the logging industry expanded southward (from the Midwest) in the late 1800s. There are photos from this concert on the PHOTOS page.

I’m a bit late in posting this here but I wanted to mention that Roddy Campbell, editor and creator of Canada’s number one Roots Music Magazine Penguin Eggs, picked “Minnesota Lumberjack Songs” as one of the top 10 CDs of 2011 on the CKUA Celtic Show.

See the list here

Great to have such wonderful support from a big name in the Canadian folk scene.
