Let the Nitro Black Emerald Pour as we celebrate St. Patrick’s Day with am amazing duo, Charlie and Brian, playing Irish Trade 7-9!
Brian lives in Highland Park, NJ, and has been playing uilleann (Irish) pipes since 1999. He first “caught the bug” and fell in love with the sound of the pipes as a child in Rutherford, having found an old album of the great piper Finbar Furey in the stacks of the public library. Brian first learned to play uilleann pipes from Boonton-based fiddler/piper Willie Kelly, and is now furthering his skills under the guidance of internationally renowned piper Ivan Goff. Brian is a regular Irish session leader and attendee and has performed with various musical groups including his current traditional Irish group, Daoine. He was also Musical Director for a piece performed by the Lustig Dance Theatre entitled “Invisible Fields” and played to audiences in Princeton, Philadelphia and other venues throughout New Jersey. Brian has been awarded Folk Arts Apprenticeship grants through the New Jersey State Council on the Arts in 2015, 2016, and 2020 and looks forward to bringing this unique instrument to audiences throughout New Jersey.
