Recognized as both musician and historian, David Kincaid presents a compelling combination of the songs and history of the Irish in the American Civil War. Years of research, recording and performing experience have been translated into two critically acclaimed albums; “THE IRISH VOLUNTEER” and “THE IRISH-AMERICAN’S SONG,” collections of authentic Irish songs of both the Union and the Confederacy. Having performed at a variety of Irish/Celtic festivals, historical sites and folk music venues across the US, as well as European tours, David’s music has also been used in several documentary films, and he was engaged as a consultant and performer in the recent Hollywood Civil War film release “Gods and Generals.” David Kincaid (lead vocals, octve mandolin), performs in period clothing, presenting an engaging, all-ages program appealing to both history buff and the Irish/Celtic music fan alike.

David Kincaid is delighted to announce that he's been invited back to the Colorado Irish Festival, July 11-12, 2009. This is a very nice festival, and if this year tunrs out to be anything like the last one, we expect a great time to be had all around. We're also very happy to announce that David will be able to perform at this year's Gettysburg Music Muster, August, 22, 2009. This one was sorely missed last year, and it's always a great honor to participate.

Due to a million and one distractions, the continuing series of songs of the Irish in the American Civil War is temporarily on hold. It has been started, however, and will get done in the not-too-distant future.
