OF SCOTLAND

and Ireland. Julia and Fred have loved and researched traditional music for most of their lives and blend history, legend and experience into their personable performance style. Their concerts feature poignant ballads sung in Lane's ethereal soprano and Gosbee's rich baritone interspersed with joyous dance tunes played on Celtic harp, guitar, fiddle and tin whistle. Castlebay treats the audience to a musical journey through time and across the Atlantic.

Whether WWhether he's flailing the rhythm for an old time fiddle tune, laying down a funky groove, or finger picking a beautiful ballad, his playing is both impeccable and creative. Accompanying this instrumental virtuosity is a rich and expressive voice with a surprising range." - Mark Schatz. "Jim Hurst has an attractive vocal delivery with his songs...but it has to take a back seat to his incredible flat-picking guitar work." - Country Music News.

******************************************************

C. Azalea Park (ORLANDO) House Concert. I'm planning on hosting occasional concerts at my mom's house in Orlando – with the first one in November (2010). . Invitation/RSVP's necessary. To request an invitation email me at gsholloway at email dot com. or call me at 813-837-6572. Concert Time: 7:30 doors. 8:00 concert (Unless Otherwise Noted) Cost: Suggested Donation of from $10 - $20 per person (Unless Otherwise Noted).

  1. Novemember 15. Monday. 2010. PHIL LEE & TOM MASON (I'm not positive if Tom will be with Phil or not – but – maybe so – If Tom isn't, we'll miss him – however, Phil is adept at solo shows) Per Nashville Tenessean by Peter Cooper: "The Don Rickles of disenfranchised nashtwang.... Lee presents himself as a lovable, if formerly dangerous, rapscallion. Skirting genre boundaries between rock, soul and country with his music and writing lyrics that knock right through walls of taste, decency and political correctness without ever landing him in a punk-rockish, spittin' for show camp."

http://www.phillee1.com/ http://www.myspace.com/tommasonmusic

If Tom is with Phil, he will back up Phil – plus – do a few songs on his own. Both are serious about their music – but they also like to have a good time - & they want the audience to have a good time too. They are crowd pleasers!


Stay tuned. There may be add'l concerts at mom's house in Orlando in Azalea Park (which is East Orlando - not far from downtown- adjacent to the East/West Expressway. )
