All bundled up and playing in cccccold temperatures, this photo of Anne was taken on October 6, 2009 outside Gatekeeper's Museum, at William B. Layton Park in Tahoe City, California:
Here's Anne on a warmer day, taking a break from playing on August 15, 2009 at Sugar Pine Point State Park. Lake Tahoe, California:
The next two photos were taken at The Edgewood Country Club, at Lake Tahoe, Nevada, from Anita and Brad's October 4, 2009 wedding. There was a snow shower that day, so the entire wedding went inside. Photos courtesy of Peter Walker Photography.
Here is an interesting perspective--This is Anne's viewpoint of the harp as she plays! The photo below was generously provided by Courtney Wilson Photography.
Celtic harp and bagpipes on stage together again! Eighth generation piper Seán Cummings and I played at our 4th annual Celtic Concert, filled with good music and lighthearted humor, on July 31, 2009 as part of the Valhalla Summer Music Festival. We performed at the Boathouse Theatre, sitting on the shore of beautiful Lake Tahoe.
As you can see in the photos below, the wall behind the stage is a glass
window looking out onto the Lake. A simply stunning setting for a
Celtic concert!
The following artsy photo, taken during intermission, gives you a real sense of the fantastic view from the Boathouse Theatre. It's as if a boat stopped right outside the window to watch our concert!
July 5th, 2009, I performed a special concert at the Mendocino Art Center, located 150 miles north of San Francisco in the quiet coastal village of Mendocino. This performance was part of the gallery’s 50th Anniversary Celebration, and what better way to celebrate than to play harp on July 4th weekend! Below are a couple of my favorite photos from the event:
Here are two stills from my upcoming video, shot by Phill Sheffield of Sheffield Multimedia on June 25, 2009. Footage was recorded at Harvey’s Cabaret inside Harvey's Resort Hotel and Casino at Lake Tahoe. What will I be playing in the video? It’s a surprise! Video will be posted on YouTube soon....
It’s wedding season here at Lake Tahoe, and a few photographers have been kind enough to share some photos of me at recent weddings. Enjoy!
From Samantha and Billy’s wedding on a blustery June 1st day, here I am playing inside the wedding tent at Zephyr Cove Resort, Lake Tahoe. Ciprian Photography generously provided the two lovely photos below.
Yes, my hair is a bit mussed in this next photo, but I did mention it was a blustery day...
This next colorful shot was taken at Angelo and Katherine’s wedding on May 24th at Lake Tahoe Golf Course courtesy of Larry Scott Photography. Thank you, Larry!
The Wild Rose Bed & Breakfast Inn in Genoa, Nevada hosted a Victorian Mother’s Day tea, complete with Anne playing Celtic, Classical and Broadway tunes.

St. Patrick’s Day fun! For the past 20-odd years, Anne has performed for Peggy and Steve’s popular St. Patrick’s Day party. They decorate their home with every bit of St. Patrick’s Day kitsch and then invite their friends, neighbors, and family to feast on a complete St. Patrick’s Day meal, including the traditional corned beef, cabbage, and potatoes. The menu features Peggy’s perfectly baked Irish soda bread and her fabulous baked brie (in the shape of a shamrock). J.J.’s homemade beers are also a mainstay of this yearly shebang (Steve made his own brew, too).
Here’s a sample of this year’s party happenings:
Anne with hosts Peggy and Steve:
Sheri of Dita Photography recently sent Anne this lovely photo to post here. It was taken at a wedding performance at The Chateau at Incline Village September 14, 2008. Thank you, Sheri!
February 14, 2009 was a special day in the Carson Mall in Carson City, Nevada. Complimentary chocolate-covered strawberries were handed to patrons as Anne performed for the grand opening of the Wedding Emporium, a one-stop shop for tuxedos, costumes, photography, and bridal gowns. Seated on a stage in the center of the mall, Anne played love tunes appropriate for the occasion. (Check out her extensive repertoire to get an idea of what she played)
Anne was thrilled when Corey and Liam, hosts of the Irish Fireside Podcast, scheduled a visit with Anne on their Irish American Roadtrip on February 13, 2009. Here are some selected photos from their visit:
After slogging through snowy Sierra mountain roads to get to Tahoe, Anne treated Corey and Liam to a proper Irish tea, served on vintage Belleek china. The menu included Irish blondies, made with St. Brendan’s Irish Cream Liquor (you can find this recipe in the liner notes of Anne’s “Haste to the Wedding” CD). They also nibbled on Anne’s husband’s special recipe scones (you’ll have to email Anne for this recipe).
Later that evening, Anne played a few tunes on her harp and Liam sang along with “She Moved Through the Fair”--A private concert with a souvenir photo from their visit. (Listen to this tune on Anne’s "Haste to the Wedding” CD, too)
Anne visited Minden Elementary School in Minden, Nevada and gave a presentation to 4th through 6th grade students.
