Recognized as both musician and historian, David Kincaid presents a compelling combination of the songs and history of the Irish in the American Civil War. Years of research, recording and performing experience have been translated into two critically acclaimed albums; “THE IRISH VOLUNTEER” and “THE IRISH-AMERICAN’S SONG,” collections of authentic Irish songs of both the Union and the Confederacy. Having performed at a variety of Irish/Celtic festivals, historical sites and folk music venues across the US, as well as European tours, David’s music has also been used in several documentary films, and he was engaged as a consultant and performer in the recent Hollywood Civil War film release “Gods and Generals.” David Kincaid (lead vocals, octve mandolin), performs in period clothing, presenting an engaging, all-ages program appealing to both history buff and the Irish/Celtic music fan alike.

April 26, 2008 - For the first time in almost three years, David Kincaid will get out to play an Irish festival, this time it will be the Colorado Irish Festival, July 12-13, 2008. Unfortunately, due to scheduling issues, David will not be able to perform at this year's Gettysburg Music Muster. We hope to be able to continue the great tradition of playing this event next year.

We're also happy to announce that continuing with David's series of songs of the Irish in the American Civil War, there is also a new album in the works, which we hope to have released by the fall of this year.
