One half of the duo SPOT/ALBERT, this outstanding guitarist, multi-instrumentalist and composer will be performing solo this year, perhaps with some surprise guests. At the end of a summer tour that will have taken him through many nightclubs and coffeehouses all over the U.S., he'll be sure to please CelticFest audiences with unique interpretations of traditional tunes, original songs and compositions. In the past SPOT has shared stages with folks like Clandestine, Brian McNeill, Breton duo Jean-Michel Veillon & Yvon Riou as well as with artists like Sonic Youth, Mike Watt, Devotchka and Alejandro Escovedo. His latest releases are "Nae Plumb Nor Square" (solo and band recordings) and "In The Bag" (the duo with bodhran/percussionist ALBERT ALFONSO).
