Good Monday Morning,
I hope everyone had a great weekend. Above is a picture of me with one of the best bands I've ever seen live. These six guys(I'm on the left) are
"The Elders". They are known round the world and they call Kansas City home. They play a brand of Celtic music that is an amazing blend of progressive rock and Irish traditional folk. We took this picture backstage at Yardley hall before
The Elders played a benefit concert for the "Heartstrings Community Foundation. Heartstrings is a foundation that assists adults with developmental disabilities to live meaningful, independent, productive lives through interactions with the community. Please visit,
www.hearstringscf.org to learn more about this important organization and how you can get involved or to help out.
The Elders donated their talents and time to this great event Saturday at Johnson County Community College called Heartstrongs in Bloom.
The Elders is an incredibly talented band and every one of them has an impressive resume.
The Elders are fronted by Ian Byrne from County Wicklow, and backed by guitarist Steve Phillips (The Rainmakers), bassist Norm Dahlor (Tommy Shaw Band), violinist Brent Hoad, drummer Tommy Sutherland, and keyboardist Joe Miquelon (Asleep at the Wheel.) All are well-known veteran musicians having played in numerous recording and touring bands before forming
The Elders.
If you get a chance, check them out June 5th as part of Olathe's Concert in the Park Series and on June 6th at Browne's Market in Kansas City.
Have a great day,
Brett
