Taking a quick break from furniture construction

to declare my enduring enjoyment of the work of Damien Dempsey. His new album just entered the Irish charts at #2, and PRI’s “The World” did a feature on him last week.

Nice guy, too, if you ever get to chat with him. He still plays small clubs around the states fairly often so that shouldn’t be too hard to do. In Europe, he sells out concert halls and opens for Dylan, so catch him on the small scale here while you can.

Think Irish Billy Bragg and you’ve got the gist of it.
