Ahoy, mates! We’re thrilled to announce that our latest release has just set sail on all streaming platforms! It’s “The Wellerman,” an epic sea shanty about a relentless sea captain on a daring quest to capture an elusive whale. Hoist the sails and set course for your favorite music service!
Hey friends! We need your help on September 1. The Cottage has hired a videographer to come in and get footage of the venue and of the band for their new website. They’ve generously agreed to share that video with us so that we can use it our our website and other marketing too.
We’d love to have a great crowd that night so the cameraperson can get lots of footage of The Cottage while the craic is mighty! If you can join us, let’s pack the place with your wonderful smiling faces. Hope to see you there!
Hey friends! Unfortunately, Blair is feeling under the weather today, so Klaus and Sean will be playing as a duo. (We’d still love to see you, though!)
Last night, I fired up one of the AI image generators that I’ve been experimenting with to see if I could get some credible cover art for the song “Whiskey in the Jar”. The prompt I used was “A small, well-worn wooden table with one dueling sword, one flintlock pistol, and one unlabeled bottle of whiskey on it. Indoor scene.” Here’s what I got:
While these are hilariously useless for the intended purpose, if I came across any of those weapons for sale at a Ren Faire, I’d snap them up in a minute.
This weekend, we were back at work laying down some more tracks to share with y’all. We’ve still got a lot of work to do on them, but thought we’d share a few behind-the-scenes photos for those who like to watch the sausage get made.
There once was a man from East Limerick
Blair Raker
This summer he started to swimmerick
He ate a full bowl
Of strawberries whole
And in a few weeks he looked slimmerick!
Howdy, friends! Just to let you know, the June 30 show at the The Cottage Irish Pub will be the Blair & Klaus edition. (Sean will be at a family wedding.) Come on by to give those two a good word and see what shenanigans they get up to!
Dia duit, friends! Some of you have asked if we will be playing on Father’s Day. Good news: we’ll be at The Cottage at our usual 5:00-8:00 time slot.
Even better news: in honor of the occasion, we’ll be doubling down on the dad jokes, bringing even more than usual! Come enjoy the craic with us!
Howdy friends! We’d promised you that more music was on the way, and we’ve now made good on that with a double feature! This week, we released our recordings of “Inisheer”, a beautiful instrumental by Thomas Walsh, and “Strands of Glitter”, a lovely Blair Raker original. Both can be found on your favorite streaming services by searching for “The Happy Out”, or you can find them here: https://artists.landr.com/064837659169.
As usual, we’d love for you to give them a listen and let us know what you think!
Howdy friends! You know, sometimes we all have a terrible day. We deal with this in different ways — some work out, some go for an evening with friends, some post hot invective on social media. But some…write songs!
Blair is one of the latter, which is a great thing for us, because we now have a new song to show for it! Yer Mom is a Dope is now up on your favorite streaming services. Check it out and let us know what you think!
