11 Years of Music and Memories. Thank you all.
In March 2024, we performed a series of shows at the North Texas Irish Festival. Packed crowds, a standing ovation, and not a dry eye in the house; what a way to conclude eleven wonderful years of music and memories with all of you along for the ride. We want to tell you all how much we appreciation the years you've spent with us. We started this band with the idea to create something beautiful, real, and sincere. We wanted to create something from love, with love, to make something good and put it out into the world. Our intention was to share our passion for Celtic song and story, and along the way, we were truly the ones that were blessed by all of the beautiful people we met along the way. Thank you to our past members - Kimia Penton, Mark Menikos (rest in peace), Graham Shurtleff, and obviously our founding member and engine Dave Ervin for being lovely bandmates and musicians. Thank you to Chad Johnson for your great work as guitarist and harmony vocalist for the past year. Thank you to Austin Celtic Festival, North Texas Irish Festival, Trinity Hall, the Celt, and many other venues and festivals that invited us to share our music over the years. And thank you to our fans, you're why we did this, and what made it fun. We love you all. We're leaving on top, as friends, who continue to make music, so please allow us to let you know where you can find us all in the future, because although The Selkie Girls draws to a close, we're all still making music. First - Dave Ervin Dave's got a new group down in the RoundRock area called Last Train to Clarksville https://ltcmusic.weebly.com/shows.html LAST TRAIN to Clarksville is the musical blend of some of the greatest songs ever written. Whitey and Dave began with an idea to bring back some of the great old songs from the 60s everyone loves, but hardly anyone is playing any more. Royce joined them very early in the process and they gelled almost instantly. While all three members have been involved in music all their lives, the three men had not met or played together at all. But, their shared history and love of music, together with the great songs of the 60s has created an instantaneous success story. Joel Black is and will continue to be a Dallas staple - he plays regularly with a jazz ensemble in town and other projects.. May 4 & 5 - Avalon Faire in Kilgore TX. Performance times 10am, 12pm and 2pm both days.
