As others quickly discovered, a party breaks out wherever this group performs. The requests to perform have continued to pour in from Northern Ontario right down into Michigan.The Sheridan Band's music reflects the musical influences they had experienced growing up in an Irish-Canadian family. The traditional Celtic folk songs dominate their music throughout the evening.

"Blower of Winds" by Rob Higginbotham
Rob is a varied and diverse songwriter, reaching for inspiration from many different streams. Among those streams is his experience with early music, particularly from Celtic tradition. In 1997, Rob wrote a collection of songs that are markedly Celtic, that are featured on his album "Words & Music", published in 2001. Of particular interest is the song "Blower of Winds", a Celtic tribute to the "Giver of Earth and Sunlight", a Christian hymn suspiciously bordering on the side of paganism, which features tinwhistle, bodhran, as well as open tuned guitar. Also of note in the Celtic vein are "Ivy" and "Caleb's Song", two opened-tuned, Celtic-style guitar instrumentals.Hometown: Nashville, TN, USASimilar Artists: Ceilli Rain, Al Petteway, Loreena McKennittWebsite: Rob HigginbothamDownload MP3: "Blower of Winds"

They have now evolved into a group that specializes in Irish dance tunes, pub songs, and ballads and has played festivals, community concerts, pubs, and private functions throughout the state of Nebraska, as well as Missouri, Kansas, Iowa, and South Dakota.The band features a wide array of instruments including mandolin, fiddle, bass, banjo, bouzouki, guitar, penny whistle, flute, bodhran and accordion.

As the writer of "Don't Forget Your Shovel", the track that propelled Christy Moore to the no. 1 slot, Hennessy has a pedigree that goes back a long way. Now 60, and after a 6-year break in recording, Hennessy returns with what the Irish press have hailed as "[h]is best album ever".
