I don't remember when I did my first Firefly Drinking Songs show. But I remember setting up a show at Dragon Con (prolly in 2010), maybe with that title, and realizing by the line out the door that this would be a good title for an album.

I didn't have enough Firefly songs, however. So I asked my good friend Cedric if he'd like to record an album of Firefly Drinking Songs together. Bedlam Bards already released an album called On the Drift inspired by Firefly. They jumped on the idea. We then played three different Firefly Drinking Songs shows to capture the music.

The idea--what other songs might've been heard in that little pub in Canton?

The winning show was recorded at a house concert in a church in Round Rock, Texas. And the sound came out fantastic... and live!

It's gone on to be one of my top-selling albums.

What are your favorite tracks on Firefly Drinking Songs?

Listen to the album on Bandcamp.

Thanks so much!

Are you going to be at DragonCon this year? My daughter and I attended your Firefly Drinking Songs performance on our first trip to DragonCon. We are both huge Firefly fans and your show made our first DC even more special. We have gone back to DC several times since then but nothing captured the magic of our first DC experience.
