The Celtic Power Hour -
Sundays (GMT 6 - 10) (CST 12N - 4PM) (PST 10AM - 2PM)

5-14-2006
The Celtic Power Hour will be on hiatus for the next few months, or until I get a more powerful computer. Due to increased rehearsal schedules this summer, I no longer have time to pre-record the show. Thanks for your patience -- I hope to have the show up and running again before long!

Join your host DJ Moose each Sunday on a magical journey in quest of Celtic Rock & Roots, with sidetrips through the hidden byways of Folk Rock, Psychedelia, Nordic and Medieval music, and more. Hear rare vinyl and live tracks from artists like Fairport Convention, Richard Thompson, Steeleye Span, Jethro Tull, Pentangle, The Pogues, Avalon Rising, and Afro Celt Sound System. Give us your credit card numbers, your first-born, and a sheep. Oh well...it was worth a try...

Performance Schedule

August 1st, 2nd, 8th, and 9th: Kelly McCubbin’s Golden Hour of Radio - 8pm at The Exit Theater, San Francisco

That’s right – I’m starring (ok, matter of opinion) in a brilliant new play called Kelly McCubbin’s Golden Hour of Radio! (or: the Ukeapocalypse Radio Hour). I’ll be playing “beleaguered announcer” Murray, as well as Risk Management Specialist Endrin Smyzel. The cast is a tremendously talented group, some of whom you know already, the rest of which you should.

This original play, penned by local writers including Rey Zegri and Chad McComber (of Single Entendre fame),  features the hilarious misadventures of a dysfunctional contemporary radio theater company. The second half features an “On Air” performance of an original sci-fi radio script! You’ll laugh, you’ll cry, you’ll kiss 15 bucks goodbye!

Save the Dates Now! There will be 4 performances only!

August 1st, 2nd, 8th, and 9th! (For you laymen, that’s the first couple of Friday and Saturday nights in August.)

Where?

The Exit Theater
156 Eddy Street, San Francisco, CA
Tickets $15 and $10

There might be cake! OK, there will be cake. We're bringing it.

Back in the Stone Age -- 15 years ago -- just after the monkeys stopped throwing things at obelisks, there arose out of the ground a great Celtic rock band, and barely to be heard over the chanting of the Druids, was the band name, "Avalon Rising." (As good a creation myth as any.) At one point, there were other people in the band. Now there are these people in the band. Go figure. Step with us --- into the future! Will there be flying cars? No, only us, just like we are today, only it'll be the 19th. Amazing! Astounding! Good thing there's going to be cake.

Come on down and join us in a toast to 15 years of Celtic rock!
