The Three Drunken Frogs

There is a pub in Galway that does not appear on every map, though everyone seems to know it. It is called The Three Drunken Frogs, and it stands exactly where it needs to be. Some say it has been there a hundred years. Some swear it wasn’t there yesterday. Both are probably right.

If you sit long enough by the fire, you’ll notice something curious: time doesn’t behave itself in the Three Drunken Frogs. A sailor from the 1890s might be nursing a porter beside a lad fresh off a night shift at the docks. A fiddler tunes his strings where a love affair once ended, and ends them again in another key. Stories rise with the steam of the glasses, collide in the air, and settle back down into the wood of the bar like they’ve always belonged there.

This album takes place entirely within those walls — across decades, seasons, and lifetimes. Every song is a different night, a different corner table, a different voice raised above the hum. You’ll hear laughter loud enough to shake the rafters and silences heavy enough to stop a room. You’ll meet drinkers, dreamers, widows, liars, lovers, musicians, and people who only meant to stay for one pint and somehow stayed for years. And the characters there are real, or a collective consciousness of good Galway people. It is up to you to decide.

The pub is not just a building here. It is a witness. It remembers who left and who never came back. It remembers who kissed by the door, who cried into their sleeve, and who swore they’d be someone else by morning. The floor has felt the stomp of a thousand dances; the bar has caught a thousand confessions. If walls could sing, this place would never stop.

So pull up a chair. The fire’s lit, the door’s still open, and the night is far from finished.

In the Three Drunken Frogs, every life passes through eventually — and for a song or two, it stays.

Ireland goes Latino

Ireland Goes Latino is a musical journey where Irish folk storytelling meets the rhythms of Latin America, carrying listeners from warm pub fires and village streets to distant harbors, tropical nights, and back again. Through jolly drinking songs, love stories, folklore, loss, magic, and departure, the album blends fiddles and whistles with salsa, bachata, samba, bolero, reggaetón, cha-cha, and waltz rhythms. Sung in English with an Irish lilt—and occasionally bursting into Spanish—the songs celebrate community, travel, memory, and the enduring pull of home. No matter how far the music roams, Ireland’s heart beats at its center.
