SANDS OF ABERDEEN

My new album, SANDS OF ABERDEEN with Hugh Morrison and Mason Brown is available at CDBaby, iTunes and all of the major MP3 Services. It is a mix of Irish, Scottish and original music and has been playing well on Celtic and Folk radio around the world.

Here is a review of the album written by Southeast Ireland Radio DJ, Nicky Rossiter and published in Irish Music Magazine.

Michael Harrison

I know many of my DFW area friends know my friend Michael William Harrison. Michael is one of the areas favorite and finest folk singers and a good friend to the Southwest Celtic Music Association.

Michael is battling throat cancer and friends of Michael have begun an effort to help him. This Link will take you to web site that has been set-up for Michael by his friends and you can find links there to Michaels Face Book page, as well. I hope you will take a look and consider helping out in any way you can.

LONESTAR BANJO

I have just released a new album called LONESTAR BANJO. It is available right now at CDBaby and at all of the MP3 Services too.

Please take a look and listen at this page. You can click the "preview all songs" button at the bottom of the song list and sample the entire album.

This is a compilation album but most of it is new to CD release. There are some tracks I have recorded for film and TV projects, along with some demo tracks for future film and TV projects. There are some remixes of old songs and a couple tracks from previous albums. You can review the list in detail at CDBaby.

I love this album - and I hope you will too. The continuous thread lashing it all together is banjo. Banjo is central to every track. The styles range from folk and bluegrass to Celtic and Cowboy. There are songs and tunes - original and traditional. I believe it is an album you will want to listen to over and over and play from start to finish every time!

Please check it out at CDBaby - and look for it at iTunes, Napster, Rhapsody or any of the others. Please add this album to your music collection!

Thanks and all the best - Jed Marum

PS - Please remember you can download the album right from CDBaby to your computer or iPod.

Civil War Banjo

Here is a short story about Liendo Plantation where I played at a Civil War reenactment recently. Nice place. Nice folks. Great banjo!

UNCLE JOE

The Story Behind UNCLE JOE - I have a had a number of questions about the song UNCLE JOE on SANDS OF ABERDEEN. Here is a link to an article I wrote about the song for the Ceili Magazine. It provides some background on the song.

A Bit of Good News Indeed!

My album Cross Over The River WON the Album of the Year Award - and my song COME BACK KATY was selected the Number 6 Song of the Year in the 2009 JP Folk Awards program - both in the Traditional/Folk categories.

JP Folk describes itself as the "worlds largest grassroots music organization" and their awards program is by far the biggest in the world. For the 2009 awards they have judged over 42,000 albums and 560,000 songs.
