Just a quick note to wish you all the best for the Holiday Season and the New Year. I know I’m blessed to have you all in my life.
This was a transition year for me as I started building a solo career after over fifteen years with Blackthorn. Thanks to the support I got from all of you, the transition has gone well with over 35 solo shows in the books for 2011. With the financial support of some great friends, I was also able to do a new CD called “Another Side of Town.” I look forward to seeing many of you in 2012 as I expand my shows beyond the PA area. Check back at SeamusRocks.com for all the latest.
If you are trying to find that last minute gift for the one you love, look no further. Another Side of Town and Four Cups of Coffee are both online at iTunes or you can get an actual CD at CDBaby.com. See below for details.
Click here to see another nice review of Another Side of Town on IrishPhiladelphia.com. The writer Denise Foley says, “While “Four Cups of Coffee” was smokin’, it nearly pales by comparison to Kelleher’s latest offering, “Another Side of Town,” which was recorded at Cambridge Sound Studio in Newtown, PA.” She goes on to say, “People who know me know that I almost never write music reviews because, frankly, great music tends to leave me virtually speechless or, at least, inarticulate. I turn like rote to just a few words, “wow” being the most common. From the first track of “Another Side of Town” to the last, I was wowing all over the place.”

More reviews
The reviews are coming in for my new CD, Another Side of Town, and so far so good. Mike Farragher from the Irish Voice newspaper said, “If you Google the word “risk,” don’t be surprised if Seamus Kelleher’s image stares you on the face on the computer screen…His first album, Four Cups of Coffee, landed on Off the Record’s best of list a few years ago. His new disc, Another Side of Town, may well top this year’s list. Seamus Kelleher’s talent demands to be heard. Take a risk yourself and drive to Another Side of Town– you’ll be glad you made the trip! Read the full review.
Charlie Ricci from Bloggerhythms also had nice things to say, “Another Side of Town is even better than Kelleher’s debut, Four Cups of Coffee, because it’s more stylistically unified while avoiding all of the traps that make everything on an album sound redundant. Kelleher can rock hard when the situation calls for it and there were hints on his first CD that he wanted to be a rocking bluesman with a special affection for fellow Irishman Rory Gallagher.

Speaking of the new album, you can download it along with my first CD “Four Cups of Coffee” on iTunes right now or purchase the actual CDs from CDBaby.
