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.

March 20, 2009 - Dave Kincaid sings Thin Lizzy's "Whiskey in the Jar" The shows from Joe Hurley's 10th Anniversary Irish Rock Revue on both March 14 & 17, 2009 were a blast! If you couldn't make it, here's a video of The Brandos' Dave Kincaid singing Thin Lizzy's version of the great traditional song "Whiskey in the Jar," with the All Star Irish Rock Revue band featuring Jon Spurney (acoustic guitar and musical director), Mark Bosch (lead guitar), Sal Maida (bass) and Christian Cassan (drums). This version is from the show on the 17th: (click)

Feb. 26, 2009 - Dave Kincaid to perform at Joe Hurley's Irish Rock Revue! Featuring some of New York's best musicians, this show has been called by more than one critic as "the biggest St. Pat's party in town." Dave has been tapped to sing a tune by those great Irish rockers Thin Lizzy, as well as playing mandolin on a couple others. There will be two shows, on March 14th and March 17th at Le Poisson Rouge,158 Bleeker St., NYC. If you can't have a good time at something like this, you just don't know how....

January 31, 2009 - The Brandos' Dave Kincaid to appear with Chris Berardo & The DesBerardos. This last week these roots-rockers were in need of someone to fill a slot for mandolin, guitar, etc. Dave answered the call and will play a show with them next Thursday, Feb. 5 at Iota, Arlington, VA., 8:00. This band has some nice tunes and will be a nice change of pace for Dave, providing some much needed live inspiration in and around the thousands of hours of being locked up in the studio working on the new albums.

January 1, 2009 - Happy New Year to one and all! The Brandos want to wish you peace and happiness in this new year, and may we see you all on tour very soon. New albums, ect., for both the band and Dave's historical projects are in the works, so stayed tuned... All the best,

Dave & Ernie
The Brandos
