March started at North Texas Irish Festival with her trio, Shared Madness. Two fun days of music performances then hours and hours of tunes into the early morning hours each night.
The following weekend we drove up to New Jersey for a soloist gig with composer/conductor Johan de Meij and the New Jersey Wind Symphony. Johan arranged a collection of Riverdance pieces composed by Bill Whelan who came to see the performance.
On our way back home to North Carolina, she had a gig at The Inn at Little Washington in Little Washington, VA with accordion player Sean McComisky.
We had a quick week at home then flew to Jackson Mississippi for Celtic Fest Mississippi. So many great tune players at the festival. Haley performed with the Máirtín de Cogain Project, with Don Penzien as a duo, as part of the ceili band, then until 4-5am each night in sessions.
Haley has some exciting thing coming up in the next few months-- including the release of a brand new duo CD with multi-instrumentalist Quinn Bachand with a CD release tour in May. She has also been contracted as the fiddler for Riverdance all summer in Dublin, Ireland!
