Ceol Tíre (folk music)


Fiddler's Green Yes, it really is me singing on this track.

After spending two seasons as the music director of the DTE/Detroit Edison Glee Club, Michael is back enjoying the life of a full time performing artist.

Armed with quite possibly the strongest voice on the dueling piano circuit combined with the gift of gab that only an Irishman could be blessed with, Michael has been tearing up the Metro Detroit club scene for over a year now.

For 15 years Michael performed at The Old Shillelagh, downtown Detroit’s landmark Irish pub. Now residing in Mid-Michigan, he can be seen regularly at such venues as JD's Key Club, Rum Runners Dueling Pianos, Pub13, Coco Joe's Beach House and the Detroit MGM Grand Casino

Dave Coulier Dave has a new website called "Clean Guys TV." Tons of wholesome fun the whole family can enjoy! Of course you can always catch him when he is in town performing at Mark Ridley's Comedy Castle. Your Uncle Don says "hello" Dave!

Mike Ridley Singer-song writer with a penchant for parody. The original "Michigan Man." Redwings Fans will like his song " Ishutsi Scores."

Thorsten Kaye Actor, Poet and Detroit Red Wings fan. Thorsten can be seen on ABC-TV's All My Children in the role of casino owner, Zachery Slater. Thorsten, I think I may still owe you a pint for that crack (craic?) about Shark Attack II. ;-)

Amy Grant Check out Amy's website and have a listen to her wonderful Christmas music. One of America's nicest and most talented singer-songwriters.

DTE Singers / Detroit Edison Glee Club The DTE Singers (formerly the Detroit Edison Glee Club) have been entertaining folks for 75 years. Good luck in the 2009-20010 season choir and save me a front row seat!

Industry Sings! With the combined efforts of five performing groups with industry backgrounds, “Industry Sings” has been an integral part of the musical landscape of SE Michigan for fifty years.

Westminster Abbey An architectural masterpiece of the 13th to 16th centuries-and a beautiful place to perform.

Maestro Erich Kunzel One of the most lively conductors I have ever worked with. Catch him with the Detroit Symphony, February 14th-17th, 2008.

Wayne State Men's Glee Club Under the direction of Maurice Draughn, the MGC carries on the proud tradition of choral excellence begun by the late Dr. Harry "Doc" Langsford back in 1945. Can you pick me out in the Westminster Abby photo here on my site?

Detroit Symphony Truly a world class symphony. One of Detroit's gems.

Stanley Cup History of the Stanley Cup on nhl.com. Who would have thought that I would ever share the stage with the Stanley Cup, Khris Draper and the Zamboni guy to sing American Pie? The Wings rock!

Sun Studio The birthplace of Rock & Roll

Detroit Red Wings Hockey Town's heroes prepare for another thrilling season!

Cinematic Overtures The Official Website of music composer for film & television, Joseph LoDuca.

Pub Crawl

All the finest watering holes this side of "The Pond."


Rum Runners Dueling Piano Bar A Lansing original! Great drinks, tropical atmosphere with Dueling Pianos upstairs and a DJ/dance floor downstairs. Great fun after a Lugnuts game! I am one of the regular players here in Lansing but be sure to check the schedule before you plan a visit.

Pub 13 A bi-level dueling pianos and sports bar, Pub 13 in Ypsilanti is the perfect combination of metropolitan class with the warmth of a neighborhood tavern. Look for me here on select weekend throughout 2009!

O'Malley's Irish Pub Hartland's most famous watering hole! Great pub with EXCELLENT food and a fun wait staff. I have performed here on Saint Patrick's Day for the last several years. Be sure to check the calendar for updates to O' Malley's live music schedule.

Irish Tavern Irish pub in Waterford. The new owners have the place looking great! Same people who own Bo's Bistro in Pontiac. Stop in during "Arts, Beats and Eats" for a pint or two!

CoCo Joe's Beach House Great pirate themed dueling piano bar located in the Bluegrass Crossings strip mall in Mt. Pleasant. Exceptional food and some of the best dueling shows around. 4855 E. Bluegrass Rd Mt. Pleasant, MI 48858

Thee Irish Pub Located in the McNamara Terminal Concourse B of Detroit Metro Airport. A great place for a pint if you are traveling. You must be a ticketed passenger or famous Irish musician to enter!

JD's Key Club/Dueling Piano Bar Dueling Pianos at it's finest! Matt and the boys keep the PIANOS ON FIRE! Not only that, but the staff pours a fine pint of Guinness as well. Be sure to check the calendar to see when I am playing here.

The Old Shillelagh Downtown Detroit's landmark Irish pub. My home for 15 years. Billy Dixon and Black Mist still keep the Shillelagh rockin' every Friday and Saturday night. 5 stars!

Sherwood Brewing Company Great Pub with all home made brew. Even the birch beer rocks. Owner Ray Sherwood is well on his way to becoming a master brewer. Try the dark beer if you stop in and tell him I said hello!
