The Story: Chris Shelby became enthralled with his Irish heritage at a young age when his uncle turned him on to different Celtic musicians. He soon started playing guitar. After reading an article about a Open Mic in Evergreen, he wandered down and met Chris Blochinger the host/drummer/percussionist and began playing together. A refreshing change from Blues, R&B and jam music, Chris B soon began to love playing the Celtic Music. Shelby soon met two fellow college students that shared his interest in his Irish heritage and music. Angela Kimber & Dave LaMothe a classically trained cellist and bass player respectively came together and the Potcheen Folk Band was formed. Angela needed to leave the band in April 05, We still miss her today.
