Matthew Cook has been singing all his life, but when the Irish genre took hold of him, the songs in his head were forever changed. The music touched a part of his heart and his soul that lay dormant, and he was instantly connected into the long history of Irish music. Now he plays and sings Irish Music in the DFW area as much as he possibly can. He plays with the bands Slugger’s Rule (www.sluggersrule.com) and String Theory (www.stringtheoryirish.com), he helps lead the Wednesday night Irish Music Session with the amazing Daniel Mehalko at The Celt Irish Pub, and is also a member of the TIMES Band & Session Players.

Testimonials

Former Student

Overall, I think the retreat was great. It truly is a 'retreat', i.e., you get a chance to get away from it all for a good solid weekend and enjoy learning new things, meeting new people, and having a great time. Good job to the organizers and the people that put the effort into this thing.  Keep it up!
