Ok, so the festival season is fast approaching and this year McCarthyizm kicks it off at the Finger Lakes Celtic Festival, Saturday May 18th. The festival starts at 10 am with opening ceremonies at noon, followed by music on 3 stages, pipe bands and also the ever-popular highland games. Apparently the ability to toss a caber was once very important to the clan. Now it's America's fastest growing spectator sport! McCarthyizm plays the final set at 4:30, followed by the Parade of Clans and closing ceremony party. Join us! http://flcelticfest.webs.com
Little road trip on Saturday to play the big celebration being thrown by a certain Canadian G-man (no not Geddy or Gord). Happy birthday brutha! BTW, if you happen to be at the border and you see a dude in a bear suit trying to bring Labatts Blue back into Canada, that just may be a certain bass player.
As the Cardinals were conclaving in the Vatican, McCarthyizm was preparing for St. Patrick's Day. And even though our new Pope is not Irish, Argentina's got a lot of sheep, so, um, well i guess that's where the comparison ends.

Joining McCarthyizm will be our buddy's Poor Ould Goat, also Clann Na Cara School of Irish Dance and the Greater Buffalo Firefighters Pipes and Drums. Sat ...

Ok so it ain't summer out there; 40 degrees and rain. And we barely escaped the raging remnants of hurricane Sandy. So...how about we do an outdoor show on solar-powered stage? Yes that's just what McCarthyizm will be doing on Sunday afternoon at Pollywogg Holler, the eco-resort and hidden gem located in the southern tier town of Belmont, NY. You gotta see this place to believe it. And on top of the natural beauty and uncommon log cabins, they have a great solar stage and PA and serve up the best oven-brick pizza and home ...
