"IN
THE BAG" is a full length CD— July of 2007
No Auditions (NYET 7008)
This album is the result of the collaboration between SPOT and percussionist ALBERT ALFONSO who has long been regarded in the Celtic music world as both an accomplished bodhran player and drum maker (he makes some of the best drums on the planet!). Over the past few years they have performed together at festivals and in July of both '07 and '08 they embarked on tours to the Eastern US.

PLUMB NOR SQUARE" is a full-length CD— August of 2005
No Auditions (NYET 7007)

"UNHALFBAKING" is a full length
CD— January of 2000
O&O/Upland
(UP 001)
"Well,
this certainly ain't The Chieftains! ...this hybrid mixes any number of
musical sources (bluegrass, country, punk, rockabilly) that all seem to
revolve around a Celtic base. The man makes some very interesting but
very hard to describe music. Certainly worth a listen for the musically
adventurous."
—Dirty Linen (Aug/Sept 00' #89)
"Unhalfbaking
is a genius punk-folk record, sweaty and funny and totally unpretentious...
...he heads down the eccentric post-Beat path (a narrow one, through dark
woods) taken by the likes of Michael Hurley and Peter Stampfel... ...[here's]
proof that the elusive grail of tradition is as much in the individual
as it is in the cliches."
—Chicago Reader (May 26, 2000)
"...his latest CD unhalfbaking is a masterpiece.
Composition, lyric, performance: this album has it all. Even the liner
notes are worth reading again and again. ...this CD successfully fuses
elements of jazz, rock, folk, blues, and celtic music into a coherent,
highly accessible package."
