Captain Mackey's Goatskin and String Band caused tongues to wag in Milwaukee and Jackson, and the crew will descend this weekend on Michigan Irish Festival in Muskegon.
The band will finally meet Kathleen Sapp, the great-great-grandaughter of Captain Mackey himself. The internet is the great facilitator for such meetings...
The next stop for the band will be at the album launch in New York in October. See the calendar for more details.

Captain Mackey's made a great splash in Milwaukee, making great music and memories with friends new and old (most notably, the Elevator Session, Acts One and Two).
The band will headline CelticFest Mississippi in mid-September before heading north for the Michigan Irish Festival, where they will meet an actual descendant of Captain Mackey! Photos are sure to be posted.
Look out Milwaukee...
