My music blends heartfelt song writing with Celtic, Bluegrass and World Music. I toured for 6 years with riverdance the show as a singer and percussionist. While travelling around the world I passed through Milwaukee, Wisconsin. Carrie, my wife to be was working backstage in the Auditorium. We fell in love and after a three year long distance relationship I left the show and married her. We now have two kids, Cael and Keira. I write about love ... of my wife, my family and Ireland.
I play bodhran, cajon, bones, spoons, shekere, shakers, riq and the klong yao. The beats are looped live and acoustic with no drum machines, then layered with five string banjo and vocal harmonies to create a new tribal texture. Come see a show, I guarantee you\'ll find something new.

Romance to Chants
author: Ken
This cd is a great collection of traditional and original material. Derek\'s songs relay his love for Ireland. From the romanticism of Spend This Life With Me to the upbeat chanting of Laidir (which kids love) this collection of songs is a true treat to the ears. A great debut disc!
