Michael William Harrison
Ft. Worth, TX
Michael William Harrison - folksinger of Irish and Scottish songs will be making his third appearance at CelticFest. A consistent performer at the North Texas Irish Festival and many other Celtic festivals in and around Texas, Michael can belt out a rousing Irish pub song and drive it home with foot-stomping rhythm; then, turn the page and sing a touching story atop finger picking like a gentle rain. With family in Fort Worth, Michael performs mostly in Texas (over 300 shows in 2007) where he is also in rotation as an instructor of "Performance Singing" classes at the O'Flaherty Irish Music Retreat held annually in Midlothian, just south of Dallas/Ft. Worth. The road, too, is no stranger to Michael who has found his way over the years to many pub, festival, and coffeehouse performances in Louisiana, Michigan, Mississippi and Missouri
