2008 - Off to a good start!

Many thanks to friends (old and new) who have come along to our Matt & Shannon Heaton shows. It's been a wonderful few months in New England, and we're busy booking Pennsylvania for Feb, Texas and Midwest for March, and much, much more. New dates added all the time right here.

Plus, we are still enjoying happy feedback from our new holiday/winter album... of course, instrumental tracks, as well as our general winter song "Fine Winter's Night" are getting more attention this month than, say, "Julius the Christmas Cat." Although we are HONORED to have inspired a name for a new kitten!

And speaking of cats, we're tucking into a few cat naps during our Irish music cruise of the Mexican Riviera. Touring beaches by day, entertaining passengers by night...

Also, during downtime on the cruise, Shannon will begin writing her new blog. She aims to become one of Irish music's more eloquent writers, starting one blog at a time.

In other news, Kieran Jordan, Boston's innovative Irish dance pioneer has teamed up with the Heatons to develop new percussive sounds to weave into ballads. Vocals and feet... a little-explored frontier... do stay tuned for news of this exciting new collaboration. We have a few festivals lined up together, with hopefully many more to follow.

Thanks for reading and for supporting the Heatons and awesome traditional music!
