Murphy’s Empty Shot St Patricks Weekend Reunion and CD Release Party

Murphy's Empty Shot - Reunion & CD Release

Murphy and crew are back with a new album of Irish Drinking Songs releasing on St Patricks Weekend (March 16th & 17th) in Fargo and Minneapolis… 

Murphy’s Empty Shot - Reunion & CD Release:  This has been years in the making! Don’t miss Wookiefoot’s Irish Project - Murphy’s Empty Shot perform St. Patrick’s Weekend 2012.   This will be Empty Shot’s 1st show in 4 years and the first place the new CD will be available!  To celebrate the release of the new CD “The Halfs and The Half Nots” and the first show of the new season, Murphy’s Empty Shot will be playing 2 St. Patty’s Day shows.  Fargo and Minneapolis – get ready to paint the town green!

Why Irish Drinking Songs? The back story:

Murphy’s Empty Shot is a side project of Mark Murphy and other members of Wookiefoot that is heavily inspired by Traditional Irish Drinking songs that Murphy, an Irishman, learned as a kid from his grandfather and father.   The project came together after years of Wookiefoot playing St. Patty’s day shows.  The mid-March concerts became a tradition not long after Wookiefoot started touring.  After the band began traveling to various destinations overseas during the winter, the St Patrick’s day events became a reunion for the band as well as a homecoming celebration.   Over the years the band’s set list had so many Irish Drinking Songs and so few of their own they  couldn’t rightfully use the name Wookiefoot during the Irish holiday.   The project became official when the first M.E.S. album “Tower of Babel Falls“ was released on St. Patrick’s Day in 2007.    The sound is complete with bag pipes & Uilleann Pipes (Patrick McCormick), violin, banjo, mandolin, and Bodrahn.   Best if listened to with a frosty pint!

Rabondo Fundraiser

Rabondo Village classroom - Rabondo Community Project

The Holiday season is a great time to give thanks and appreciation as well a time for charity and generosity. During the month of December, Be The Change is doing a fund raising drive to help out the Rabondo Community Project whom we have been working with for the past two years.
We recently had the pleasure to meet with Timon Bondo (founder of project) just before he left to Kenya.  He is such an inspiration and is doing amazing work there. Please give what you can to this great organization. A little goes a long way for a small organization like this. 100% of your donation will go directly to school supplies, books, clean water, and other basic necessities for these children.


All funds raised by Be The Change in the month of December will benefit the Rabondo Community Project.

 

Please read more about Rabondo mission on the Be The Change website.
