Happy Out Filling In for Brian Ralph This August

Our good friend Brian Ralph usually holds down Friday nights at The Cottage Irish Pub, but this August he’s handing us the keys for a couple of evenings. We’ll be filling in for Brian on Friday, August 14 and Friday, August 21, both starting at 6 PM.

Expect the usual mix of Irish tunes, pub songs, and whatever shenanigans we get up to. As always, there’s no cover charge — just come ready for a good time.

So if you can’t make our regular Sunday gigs, here’s your chance to catch us on a Friday night instead. Sláinte!

Great Show and a Proposal!

The craic was mighty at The Cottage this past Sunday. Not only was it the last match in the World Cup, and not only did we get a flood of requests from the crowd, but after crooning Willie’s “Can I Sleep In Your Arms?” to his girlfriend Alex, Klaus got down on a knee and proposed. She said yes — and Blair and Sean eventually forgave his use of a country song instead of an Irish one.

Big congrats to Alex and Klaus!

Fajita Fund-Raiser Sunday

Hey friends! Please consider coming out to The Cottage Irish Pub this Sunday, June 28 for a fajita fundraiser for Daniela Rodriguez. Daniela is the wife of Taco, one of our favorite barkeeps at The Cottage. She’s facing a long regimen of cancer treatment, and this is one way her community is supporting her.

We won’t be playing, but there will be a DJ outside, and possibly live music inside a bit later. The fajitas start flying at 3:00pm!

We Have The Best Fans

A big shout out to our new friend Conor, who we met at The Cottage the last time we were there. While he and his dad and brother were enjoying a meal, he listened to us and drew this amazing portrait of the three of us! Thanks so much, Conor — we love it!

We’ve got friends in fun places. Today, the red kangaroos and emus at the San Antonio Zoo were sharing an excellent recommendation for St. Patrick’s Weekend! 😍Big thanks to Maggie and to the zoo for the artwork and delightful photos!

Fan Art

Many thanks to our young friend Luke, who we met last night at the Mammen Family Public Library. He very kindly shared his artwork, inspired by last night’s show, with us. Great work, young sir!
