The 1st half of 2017 has been one of reaching more audiences far and wide. That means, not only performing but broadcasting performances to as many people ‘online’ as found via the great programs and apps that our technology allows. After experimenting with Facebook live I have also experimented with Twitters Live Broadcast tool – Periscope.

This allows me to broadcast shows to more people I don’t know – around the world. So far the feedback has been fantastic, people in the U.S, UK, Europe, even South Korea (not North) have watched a show and commented. As the summer season approaches I’ll look forward to broadcasting more shows.

Here’s a link to recent show using Periscope (where you can’t see me, only hear me)

(How to multitask in 2017 – singing while Facetiming someone while on Periscope)

It’s not enough to have 1 gig on St.Patricks Day. No, it’s better to have  2 back to back, within the same neighbourhood. That way you can reach more people and breath in the buzz. With my buzz intact, I performed a stellar set “Irish Standards” at Paupers (a venue that always invites me back for their biggest events – New Years, St.Paddys etc.) 4:30pm – 8:30pm and after headed to my other home – The Madison for a show 10:00pm – 1:30am. Upon arriving at the Madison, I saw a lineup that extended for at least a city block –  all to see me perform. When I approached and bypassed the lineup, people actually started recognizing me, screaming and yelling song requests –  how weird is that? When performing, I managed to film a majority of the night, and in so doing, edited a 3.5hr show into 10 minutes. It was like running a 10K. 8hrs straight of singing is possible!

here is a direct link to FB live show

Way back in 2000 I lived in London England, and performed at a great place called the 12barClub. Friends and family watched from home in Canada as I performed. The sound and resolution wasn’t the best but still..tech-neology was promising. Fast forward to 2017 where social media tools like Perescope and Facebook live are the current norm for live Video. So on Friday Jan.17th I did just that, live broadcasted shows. So much unexpected fun.
