This short-lived but innovative Celtic/world-beat group featured Fred Willson on mandolin and guitar, David
Molinari on guitar and accordion, and myself on percussion. On occasion, we added a fiddle player to the lineup
for that extra burst of musical energy.
While grounded in the traditional Irish style, our performances often incorporated a number of other
musical influences. There was also an improvisational element to many of our live performances which could take on the
characteristics of a "jam band" on occasion. It was this willingness to stretch the boundaries of the genre that
distinguished Deally Bob from other Celtic bands.
The link below will take you to a folder containing several downloadable tunes. They were recorded
in my studio so they're a bit more "traditional" in style than our live performances, but they still possess a certain
energy and creativity. Check them out!
While Deally Bob doesn't exist anymore, you may want to check
out An Dro which has inherited some of the same boundary-stretching qualities, especially when they perform as a quartet with Michelle
Venegas on fiddle and myself on percussion. Visit the gig schedule page to see if we have any performances slated for the weeks ahead.
