Captain Catbeard

Singer-songwriter // Caltra, Galway

Captain Catbeard is a Texas born singer songwriter residing in Galway. I first picked up the guitar as a kid in a old time folk circle at the home of the "Georgia Mudcat" player known as "Bear Paw" and never looked back.
Music has taken me on an epic journey to distant lands, from California to Japan - I even stopped into Iraq and Afghanistan - learning about different cultures, life and how music breaks all barriers allowing us to share our greatest moments together.
After my travels, I found Love and rambled around the United States with my Cosmic Mama and cats in a caravan, plucking strings and singing things, until it was time to take her back home to Ireland.
Influnced by outlaw country, blues, folk, rock and soul, I play the music I hear in my head and sing the words from my heart.

"Knowledge is the Door,
Silence is the Key,
Love is the Way."
