Rock me mama — like an Irish music fest

We cover “Wagon Wheel” with the help of Art from Darby O’Gill on Sunday during the Celtic Music Festival at the Galway Bay Irish Pub in Ocean Shores. Some amazing acts. Please ignore the one ridiculously wrong chord I hit. Thanks Elizabeth for running the camera.
