Michael O'Brian Band Wows the Celtic Festival at Spyglass Ridge Winery

Once again the Michael O'Brian Band wowed the huge crowd at the 7th Annual Celtic Festival at Spyglass Ridge Winery.  What started out as a small idea by Spyglass owner Tom Webb over 7 years ago has grown into premier wine tasting, Celtic music favorite destinations in Pennsylvania.

This years music selections ranged from Leo Schott to national renown Seven Nations.

Brian Anderson and Michael Zerbe provide the entertainment with their wide range of covers and pub favorites with a little mix of storytelling.  The duo brought the main stage alive with their version of Puff the Magic Dragon, sung by Elvis, Johhny Cash, Billy Idol, and AC/DC.

After their performance on the main stage, the duo rocked the inside of the winery with the Unicorn Song and ending with Smokie's version of Living Next Door to Alice.

Zerbe had busy day also performing with his other band Full Kilt.  Plenty of talent graces the 'Kilt lineup with Zerbe on guitar and vocals, Mandy Passmore on the fiddle, Chris Myers on the base and Bodhran, and Pat Boland on the drums.

Kansas Lives Up to Billing at Spyglass Ridge Winery

There are hopes and dreams when one starts any business.  This past Saturday night, I believe the dream came through for the Webb family, owners of Spyglass Ridge Winery.  The dream of  having a national act perform in front of over 2000 people came together after months of careful planning. Parking was orderly, neighbors cooperation went beyond the call, and the attendees had nother but praise for the event.            

Now it is on to the Celtic Festival on August 20th with the one of my favorites, the Michael O'Brian Band.
