For the past 25-plus years, Michael Eskin has been playing traditional Irish music on a variety of instruments, including Uilleann pipes, tin whistle, wooden flute, Anglo concertina, and B/C-tuned button accordion.
Since January 2000, he has co-hosted the weekly Tuesday night Irish session at The Ould Sod in San Diego, California, as well as being in the hosting rotation for the Sunday afternoon session at The Auld Dubliner in Long Beach, California.
He has played Uilleann pipes and Tin Whistle on the soundtracks for two movies, working with composer Patrick Cassidy: Kill the Irishman and Calvary. He has also done studio recording work for the local Southern California band “Sligo Rags” and others.
He has developed a whole family of traditional musical instrument mobile apps for iOS and Android under his Appcordions brand.
Starting in 2022, he also developed a robust, open-source, free web-based ABC notation editor available at: https://michaeleskin.com/abc.
