The video I've linked here is a recent showing of work I do in bringing talents together in performance.
With the Tango Cowboys I play harmonica on the classic or original cowboy or folk songs, and in this video I brought in the great Matt Eakle of the David Grisman Sextet to join us at the 2020 Stringband Jamboree - online of course during the Summer of Covid.
I have a passion for very good traditional/folk music, including Roma Swing, and certain kinds of jazz and blues and produce shows of distinction that my community and greater region greatly appreciate and recognize on a growing basis.
I also have a passion for studying and performing traditional music from Ireland and other related music and songs, composing along these veins and other idioms.
Currently I work with and run a wonderful band called Gallowglass Irish Band, Rosin & Reed, and before Covid hit, the weekly show I created and produced is called Irish & Folk Mondays. The future of Irish & Folk Mondays (almost 6 years!) is uncertain as I concentrate on music content I create and furthering my own musical skills and knowledge.
As exciting as it is to be performing and presenting the music I organize and produce, and as vital as this is to any given community, the small businesses and venues where I produce shows cannot pay very much. Without fiscal sponsorship many artists and producers cannot sustain an existence for the public to enjoy and be uplifted, inspired, and edified by. Quality live acoustic and traditional and roots music are essential to the health of any public! Plus I wish to broaden the range of talent I can bring to Bellingham from the greater region from Seattle to Vancouver, BC.
This means being able to guarantee them enough to make it all work, and it's been a real pleasure to be able to supplement the door with Fractured Atlas funds for some of the touring artists I've presented such as Josephine County - look them up!

Thank you for considering to support my efforts and please contact me with any questions or inspirations. I have some video and recording projects ongoing and in mind as well as a return to tour Ireland when the time is right. You can find the first tour, funded by many people, on my YouTube Channel under 'Peadar MacMahon & The Legacy of Percy French'. Deep stuff!
