Album Notes

What reviewers are saying about Alehouse Insurrections: "Alehouse Insurrections is a rebellious good time, forged like an iron sword and pulled from a fiery furnace. From the patriotic tin whistle opening of "First Born Son"(think a rock revived Braveheart) Irish/New Englander Tommy Byrnes-coddled and fluent in Highland bagpipes, chanters, mandolin, whistles, harmonica, Bodhran, keyboards, tambourine, bass, acoustic, and electric guitar-jams with some major Celtic rhythm with mishmashes of folk, progressive rock, and rowdy pub music. In fact, by the time you reach the end of the guitar-distorted revolutionary dirge, "First Light," and soldier returning "Open Your Eyes," you'll no doubt be holding a frothy Guinness (the real Irish kind) stout standing firm on a whiskey stained table empowered by bravado for freedom, victory, and love you never knew you had. Cheers to you Tommy, cheers."-Cory Graham CD Reviews.Com "Continuing his foray through traditional stylings, folk, and progressive rock, Tommy takes you on a journey you are sure to enjoy." - Music Morsels "Alehouse Insurrections" is a good debut album, with loads of oomph.
